VLADIVOSTOK Russia (Sputnik) — The Russian Foreign Ministry’s advisory to evacuate foreign diplomatic staff from Kiev is still in effect, as Russian forces switch to systematic strikes against Ukraine’s military infrastructure, MFA spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Tuesday.»The recommendation of the Russian Foreign Ministry, which was issued back in May of this year, has not lost its relevance, on the contrary, it remains fully valid: the entire diplomatic corps and foreign citizens in Kiev should evacuate as the Russian armed forces have shifted to systematic and sustained attacks on the military infrastructure of Ukraine,» Zakharova told reporters on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF-2026). Zelensky’s calls to ramp up drone strikes on Russian territory to 1,000 per day speak for themselves as to whether he truly seeks peace, the spokeswoman emphasized.Russia’s Pacific coastal city of Vladivostok is hosting the 2026 Eastern Economic Forum, which is running from September 1-4.
