Russia advises foreign nationals and diplomats to leave Kyiv

The Russian Foreign Ministry has issued a statement advising foreign citizens and diplomatic mission members to evacuate Kyiv. This warning follows Moscow's announcement that the Russian military intends to launch systematic airstrikes against defense industry facilities, military-industrial complexes, and decision-making centers within the city. The ministry did not provide a specific deadline for the commencement of these operations. Russia claims these planned strikes are a direct response to a drone attack on a student dormitory last Friday. Conversely, the Ukrainian military denies responsibility for the dormitory strike, asserting that its forces targeted an elite drone command unit instead. There have been no reports of mass evacuations initiated by foreign embassies in response to this notice yet.
