Russia warns foreigners to leave Kyiv, threatens more strikes

Russia has warned foreign nationals and diplomats to leave Kyiv, saying it plans to carry out more strikes on the Ukrainian capital. The warning came from Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who told US Secretary of State Marco Rubio about Russia's decision to target sites in Kyiv that it claims are linked to the Ukrainian military.

Russia's foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova also urged foreigners to leave the city, describing the upcoming strikes as "systematic." The threats follow a series of Russian attacks on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, and mark an escalation in rhetoric from Moscow.
