Russia has urged residents of Kyiv and foreign nationals to evacuate the Ukrainian capital immediately as it launches a series of missile and drone attacks.

The warning extends to staff of diplomatic missions and international organizations as Moscow targets various military and administrative facilities.

Russia cited the May 22 drone strike on the academic building and dormitory of a college at the Lugansk Pedagogical University in Starobelsk, Lugansk People’s Republic, as the basis for its action.

The Foreign Ministry, in a statement on Monday, described the attack as “another glaring manifestation of the Nazi and terrorist essence of the Kyiv regime which deliberately attacks civilians.”

Moscow accused the “Zelensky junta and its Western sponsors” of supplying the weapons used to commit crimes against Russians in violation of international humanitarian law.

The federation said that the disregard for the Geneva 1949 conventions, additional protocols on civilian protection, and the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child has “exhausted our patience.”

Russia announced that its forces are conducting a major assault on the Ukrainian defence industry in Kyiv, including facilities for designing, manufacturing and programming drones.

According to the statement, the drones are deployed with the support of NATO specialists, who allegedly supply components, provide reconnaissance and target‑acquisition data.

Russia’s “systemic strikes” will target Ukraine’s “decision‑making centres and command posts.” The ongoing offensive is regarded as the largest aerial assault on Kyiv since the war began.
