“We are preparing our air defense as much as possible, and we will respond fully justly to every Russian strike,” he added.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv issued a security alert on Saturday warning of a “potentially significant” air attack on Ukraine within the next 24 hours.<\/p>\n

“The embassy, as always, recommends U.S. citizens be prepared to immediately shelter in the event an air alert is announced,” the embassy said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“It is impossible to limit ourselves to statements from the Foreign Ministry alone. Therefore, the Russian Defense Ministry has been ordered to present its proposals,” Putin said in remarks to military graduates on Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ukraine’s military denied Russian accusations it attacked the dorm saying on social media it struck one of the headquarters of a Russian military drone unit called “Rubicon.”<\/p>\n

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of\u00a0Ukraine, in a Facebook post, describing “Rubicon” as a drone unit that regularly targets Ukrainian civilians and accusing Russian media of spreading “manipulative information” — adding Kyiv only targets military infrastructure and complies with international humanitarian law.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
