Russia's Foreign Ministry again urges foreigners and diplomats to leave Ukraine
Moscow says its forces will keep striking what it calls military facilities in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, framing the strikes as a response to Ukrainian attacks.

Russia's Foreign Ministry has again warned foreign nationals, including diplomatic staff, against remaining in Ukraine, according to the Russian state news agency TASS.
The ministry reiterated that Russian forces would continue what it described as systematic and consistent strikes on military facilities in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities. It characterized these strikes as a response to what it called terrorist actions by Ukraine's armed forces against Russian civilians and infrastructure, a characterization that reflects Moscow's own framing of the conflict rather than an independently verified account.
TASS's report did not specify which Ukrainian facilities Russia considers targets, nor did it provide additional detail on the timing or expected scope of further strikes.
Ukrainian officials and Western governments have repeatedly disputed Russia's description of its strikes as targeting only military infrastructure, pointing instead to civilian casualties and damage to residential areas and energy infrastructure documented throughout the war. Neither Kyiv nor Western diplomatic missions in Ukraine had issued a public response to this specific warning at the time of TASS's report.
Russia's Foreign Ministry has issued similar warnings to foreign citizens and diplomatic personnel at earlier points during the conflict.
