The Moscow Times reported that Russia pledged to continue massive strikes on Kyiv and urged foreign diplomats to leave the city. Bloomberg noted that the attacks widened with a strike on a Kyiv bridge, underscoring the expansion of infrastructure targeting.
Reuters added that Russia intended to intensify strikes after a Zelensky interview, while Yahoo reported that German and EU ambassadors intend to remain in Kyiv despite the warning. Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty wrote that Zelensky said Ukraine will respond to the escalated air strikes and warned foreigners of the danger.
The diplomatic stance reported by Yahoo contradicts the Russian appeal for diplomats to depart, illustrating a split between official warnings and foreign missions’ decisions.
