Russia's Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday that it had warned diplomatic ‌missions to evacuate staff promptly from Kyiv in the event of a mass strike by Moscow in response ⁠to any attempt by Ukraine to disrupt Russia's May 9 Victory Day commemorations.

"The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly urges the authorities of your country...to treat this statement ‌with ⁠the utmost responsibility and ensure the timely evacuation from the city of Kyiv of the ⁠personnel of diplomatic and other representations in connection with the inevitability ⁠of a retaliatory strike on Kyiv by Russia's Armed ⁠Forces," Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a video posted on Telegram.
