Russia issues second scary Kyiv warning in just 24 hours: 'Leave now' or face the consequences

Russia has issued a renewed warning urging foreign nationals, diplomats and Kyiv residents to leave the Ukrainian capital, saying its forces will continue “systematic” and “massive retaliatory strikes” against what Moscow describes as military targets. The Russian Foreign Ministry said those who ignore the warning would bear responsibility for any adverse consequences. Moscow claims the strikes are a response to alleged Ukrainian attacks on Russian civilians and infrastructure. The statement follows intensified drone and missile attacks on Kyiv, including damage to key bridges across the Dnipro River that disrupted traffic in the capital. Ukraine rejects Russia’s justification and says civilian infrastructure has been repeatedly hit.
