Russia said Monday it would intensify strikes on Kyiv, targeting what it called Ukraine’s “decision-making centres”, and urged foreign diplomats and civilians to evacuate the capital. The warning followed a weekend barrage of drones, missiles and hypersonic weapons that killed four people, as Moscow vowed retaliation for an alleged Ukrainian attack in occupied Lugansk.
