The United States has promised to assist in the evacuation of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky from Kyiv in light of the Russian operation in the Donbass. This is reported by TASS with reference to an article in The Washington Post.
It is noted that United States officials have been warning the Ukrainian leader for weeks that he is the “number one target” for the Russian military.
A source told the newspaper that U.S. officials had expressed a willingness to help Zelensky and had discussed various security issues, including where he might be stationed.
