Russia has warned foreigners to leave Kyiv as it plans systematic strikes on defense facilities in response to a recent Ukrainian drone attack. The strikes are aimed at locations involved in UAV operations within the city.

Russia has warned it plans to launch a “series of systematic strikes” on defence industrial facilities in Kyiv, and urged foreign citizens to leave the Ukrainian capital.
In a statement, the Ministry of Defence said the strikes are in response to a Ukrainian drone attack last week that struck a student dorm in Starobilsk in the occupied Luhansk region, killing at least 18 people.
Ukraine has raised its drone warfare capabilities in recent months, and has seen significant success in striking Russian targets, energy infrastructure in particular. Moscow, which launched a full-scale invasion of its neighbour four years ago and claims four of Ukraine’s eastern regions as its own, has branded those attacks as “terrorism” and responded with large missile and drone launches.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said in Monday’s statement that the strike on Starobilsk signalled “the last straw” and that Russia will launch a systematic series of strikes in response, which will target “specific sites where UAVs are designed, manufactured, programmed, and prepared for use”.
Noting that such facilities “are scattered throughout Kyiv,” the statement said it was warning “foreign citizens, including personnel of diplomatic missions and international organisations, to leave the city as soon as possible”.
It also urged Kyiv residents to avoid approaching military and administrative infrastructure facilities”, the statement read.
Launched overnight on Thursday into Friday, the drone salvo that hit Starobilsk – one of Ukraine’s deadliest such strikes in months– also wounded 42 people.
The Foreign Ministry statement labelled it a “flagrant disregard for international humanitarian law”, and “yet another blatant demonstration of the Nazi and terrorist nature of the Kyiv regime, which deliberately attacks civilians and does not hesitate to murder children in cold blood”.
Ukraine’s military has denied responsibility for the strike on the student dorm, saying it had struck an elite drone command unit.
Commenting on Moscow’s threat and call for foreigners to leave Kyiv, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha urged allies not to give in to “Russian blackmail”.
More than 70 foreign diplomats on Monday paid their respects to the victims of the strikes in Kyiv, visiting a heavily damaged neighbourhood.
French Ambassador Gael Veyssiere noted that ordinary people had returned to work on Monday and were going about their daily lives.
“It’s a way to demonstrate resilience and I think it’s extremely important that we, around the world, we would support that,” Veyssiere told the Reuters news agency.
Russia's warning was prompted by a Ukrainian drone attack that killed at least 18 people in Starobilsk, leading to Russia's planned systematic strikes.
