Russia warns U.S. to evacuate Kyiv ahead of planned systematic missile strikes

On Monday, Russia warned U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to evacuate all American diplomats and citizens from Kyiv before it launches a new wave of "systematic" strikes.

This escalation follows a massive weekend barrage where Moscow deployed its experimental Oreshnik hypersonic missile, which travels at Mach 10 and can carry nuclear warheads. Russian Foreign Ministry officials stated that the upcoming attacks will specifically target "decision-making centers" and military industrial sites within the Ukrainian capital. The use of high-end weaponry like the Oreshnik, which allegedly bypasses all existing Western air defenses, suggests the Kremlin is attempting to break the battlefield stalemate through psychological terror.

While Kyiv residents remain defiant, international observers are closely monitoring whether foreign embassies will relocate as Russia prepares to ramp up the intensity of its aerial campaign.
