Russia Warns Foreign Diplomats of 'Mortal Danger' in Kyiv

Russia warned foreign diplomats and citizens on Saturday that remaining in Kyiv poses a "mortal danger," pledging sustained missile and drone strikes across Ukraine, according to state media. The warning follows reports that Western embassies drafted contingency plans to evacuate personnel to Lviv or Poland, though Ukraine's foreign ministry said no relocation notices have been filed and missions remain operational. Moscow's threat coincides with intensified attacks on Kyiv's infrastructure, with Mayor Vitali Klitschko saying strikes on bridges, energy facilities, and residential areas have made municipal operations a matter of "safety and survival" for three million residents.
