Russia's Attacks Turn Kyiv Into Emptying Diplomatic Hub
Original: Emptying the Embassies: Russia’s Campaign Against Kyiv as a Functioning Capital
Russia's sustained strikes on Kyiv are being described as a deliberate campaign against Ukraine's capital as a functioning seat of government, prompting foreign embassies to scale back or close operations. Commentators argue the targeting of the capital's administrative and diplomatic life is designed to hollow out Ukraine's statehood, not just its infrastructure.
Why now: Recent Russian strikes on Kyiv have intensified debate over embassy drawdowns and the erosion of the capital's diplomatic function.
