Russia says it will continue “massive strikes” on Kyiv and has urged foreign diplomats to leave the city, according to a statement from the Russian Foreign Ministry reported by multiple outlets.

In the statement, Russia frames its actions as a response to what it calls Ukraine’s “terrorist acts.” The reports describe the move as part of Russia’s messaging around the ongoing fighting and its impact on civilians and international presence in Kyiv.

While both sources focus on the same Russian claims—continued strikes and the call for diplomats to depart—their framing differs slightly. Investing.com emphasizes the pledge to sustain large-scale attacks and the diplomatic warning, while The Moscow Times highlights Russia’s justification for the strikes as retaliation for alleged Ukrainian attacks. The sources do not provide independent verification of the claims or additional detail on specific strike targets or timelines.
