Russia warns diplomatic missions to evacuate Kyiv staff ahead of potential mass strikes

Russia's Foreign Ministry issued a warning to diplomatic missions in Kyiv to evacuate their staff, citing the possibility of mass strikes on the capital if Ukraine attempts to disrupt Russia's May 9 Victory Day commemorations. The warning was delivered via video statement by Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on Wednesday, following an earlier Defence Ministry alert issued on Monday. Russia framed the potential strikes as retaliatory measures in response to potential Ukrainian attacks during the Victory Day military parade.
