Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has turned down the offer by the US government to evacuate the country as invading Russian forces closed in on Kyiv, according to Associated Press.
After the US asked the Ukrainian president to leave his country, an upbeat Zelenskiy said, “The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride,” reported AP citing a senior American intelligence official familiar with direct knowledge of the conversation.
Russian troops continue to encircle Kyiv amid repeated calls from the West to withdraw from Ukrainian territory and adhere to the principles of international law and the Charter of the United Nations.
