Russia vows more strikes on Kyiv, urges diplomats to leave; Ukraine open to India ceasefire plan

Russia vowed Saturday to continue targeted retaliatory strikes on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, urging foreign nationals and diplomats to leave the country, citing Ukrainian "terrorist acts" against Russian civilians and infrastructure. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said Kyiv will intensify attacks on Russian oil refineries in response, but will not target civilians, claiming intelligence shows Putin issued a "new doctrine" for broader strikes on civilian targets ahead of winter. Russia hit a Dnipro river bridge in Kyiv on Saturday, disrupting life for the capital's 3 million residents. Separately, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said Kyiv is ready to consider India's ceasefire proposal, described as the "broadest" of four offers from India, Turkiye, Egypt, and the US, covering energy infrastructure and the Black Sea, following Putin's praise of PM Narendra Modi's ideas.
