Russia's Campaign Against Kyiv as a Functioning Capital

Original: Emptying the Embassies: Russia’s Campaign Against Kyiv as a Functioning Capital

Analysis published by Modern Diplomacy argues that Russia's ongoing strikes on Kyiv are aimed not only at military targets but at hollowing out the Ukrainian capital as a functioning political and diplomatic hub. The piece describes embassies scaling back operations and diplomatic staff leaving the city, warning that Russia's campaign seeks to delegitimise Ukraine's statehood by making its capital ungovernable and unliveable.

Why now: Renewed Russian attacks on Kyiv and questions over embassies' continued presence have put the capital's status back in focus.
