Russia threatens more Kyiv strikes and tells foreign nationals to leave

Russia has threatened to launch new systematic strikes on Kyiv targeting decision-making centers, command posts, and drone manufacturing facilities, and has urged foreign nationals and diplomats to evacuate the Ukrainian capital immediately. The threatened strikes follow recent large-scale Russian attacks on Kyiv that killed multiple civilians and damaged cultural and residential sites, with Russia stating the strikes are retaliation for a Ukrainian attack in Russian-occupied Starobilsk that Kyiv says targeted a military drone unit, not civilians.
