As Russian troops circled Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky turned down the US government’s offer to evacuate, insisting that he would stay and fight.
“The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride,” Zelensky said, reported AP citing a senior American intelligence official with direct knowledge of the conversation.
The US offer to Zelensky was based on intelligence that Russian President Vladimir Putin is determined to overthrow Ukraine’s government and replace it with a regime of his own.
Zelensky has previously stated that he is Moscow’s “No. 1 target” and that Russian “sabotage forces” were in Kyiv and hunting for him and his family.
During a video conference with European Union (EU) leaders on Thursday, the Ukrainian premier reportedly told them that “this might be the last time you see me alive”.
