Russia has warned foreign nationals and diplomats to leave Kyiv, saying its forces will continue what Moscow describes as targeted retaliatory strikes on the Ukrainian capital and other cities. The Russian Foreign Ministry said the strikes were being carried out against military facilities in response to what it described as Ukrainian attacks on Russian civilian populations and infrastructure.

Moscow also warned that those who ignore its call to leave could face serious risks. Ukraine, meanwhile, has reported continued Russian attacks on key infrastructure in Kyiv, including bridges over the Dnipro River. The latest warning comes as fighting and long-range attacks continue between Russia and Ukraine, with Kyiv facing renewed pressure on critical infrastructure.
