Rubio hits back at Russian threats to foreign diplomats in Kyiv

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio responded firmly to Russia's threats urging foreign diplomats to leave Kyiv, stating the American embassy will remain operational and decide its own security. Rubio noted Russia has issued such warnings for months and that Kyiv being targeted is no surprise, but stressed the U.S. assesses its diplomatic missions daily and sees no current need to evacuate personnel. The Russian Foreign Ministry recently advised foreigners and diplomats to leave Kyiv, prompting EU spokesperson Christian Wigand to say EU diplomats stay, adding such threats show the Kremlin is losing its war.
