Russia threatens to launch a new round of "systematic strikes" against Kyiv and urges foreign citizens and diplomats to leave the Ukrainian capital as soon as possible. The Russian Foreign Ministry said the new targets would include Kyiv's decision-making centers, command posts, and drone manufacturing facilities, warning the public to stay away from administrative and military buildings. Just days ago, Russia launched one of its largest attacks on Kyiv since the war began; Zelenskyy stated that massive Russian air strikes overnight on Saturday caused four deaths and about 100 injuries across Kyiv and other regions. Ukraine condemned Russia's warnings as "brazen extortion" and called on allies to increase pressure on Moscow. Kyiv argued that Russia's demand for foreign personnel to evacuate amounts to an admission that its shelling also aims to intimidate foreign diplomatic missions. Russian attacks on Kyiv have scarcely ceased, and the security threat has not fundamentally changed.
