Russia warns foreign nationals to leave Kyiv after large attack
Russia says the strikes will hit drone facilities and command posts as foreign diplomats and international organizations are told to leave the capital.
- On May 25, Russia's Foreign Ministry warned foreign diplomats and citizens to leave Kyiv before launching a 'series of systematic strikes' against the capital's military-industrial facilities, a day after one of its heaviest bombardments since the war began.
- Russia framed the evacuation order as retaliation for a May 22 Ukrainian drone attack in occupied Starobilsk that killed at least 18 people, though Ukraine's military denied striking a dormitory and claimed it hit Russia's 'Rubicon' Center for Advanced Unmanned Technologies instead.
- Sunday's strikes killed two people, injured 91, and damaged around 300 sites across Kyiv; Russia deployed an Oreshnik hypersonic missile for its third use in the four-year-old war, targeting drone-design and manufacturing facilities plus command posts.
- French Ambassador Gael Veyssiere noted ordinary people returned to work Monday, stating 'It's a way to demonstrate resilience,' while more than 70 foreign diplomats visited damaged Lukyanivka and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha rejected Moscow's call as 'Russian blackmail.'
- Ukraine's Office of the Prosecutor General has documented more than 11,000 Russian FPV-drone attacks on civilians since 2024, including systematic 'human safari' patterns in Kherson classified as war crimes, while U.S. mediation efforts have failed to broker peace.
