Russia tells U.S. citizens to leave Kyiv, warning of “systematic and consistent strikes” on the Ukrainian capital. The message comes amid heightened tensions and follows statements attributed to U.S. Senator Marco Rubio warning against escalation, according to the outlets reporting on the exchange.
CNBC and Breitbart both describe Russia’s position as a warning directed at Americans in Kyiv, framing the coming actions as coordinated and repeated rather than isolated. Breitbart also reports that Russia warns the U.S. about evacuating the Ukraine embassy, tying the warning to the stated intent to begin a series of “systematic” strikes.
Across the accounts, the central points are consistent: Russia announces or signals an upcoming campaign of strikes targeting Kyiv, and the U.S. is advised to take protective steps regarding U.S. citizens and diplomatic presence in the city. The reports provide the warnings and framing from each side but do not offer additional independent details in the provided excerpts about the timing or specific targets of the strikes.
