Russia warns foreign nationals to leave Kyiv after large attack
Russia said the strikes will target Ukrainian military-industrial sites and decision-making centers after a drone attack it says killed 18 people.
- 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.
