I am neither afraid of anybody, nor hiding, says Ukraine president Zelensky
His statement has come amid the escalating attacks by Russian forces in Ukraine and targeting many important cities including Kharkiv and Kyiv. The reports said that the Russian forces are moving closer to Kyiv to capture it.
Kyiv: Sending a clear message that could boost the morale of the citizens of Ukraine and its forces fighting the Russian army, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has claimed that he is very much in Kyiv, the capital of the war-torn country.
He has made it clear that he does fear war. "I stay in Kyiv. On Bankova Street. I'm not hiding. And I'm not afraid of anyone," Zelensky said in a video on his official Instagram account.
His statement has come amid the escalating attacks by Russian forces in Ukraine and targeting many important cities including Kharkiv and Kyiv. The reports said that the Russian forces are moving closer to Kyiv to capture it.
Meanwhile, the President whose country is fighting a lone battle without the support of any other nation said that he would do as much as it takes to "win this patriotic war".
It may be noted that Volodymyr Zelensky, a former comic, became president of Ukraine in time to witness the gravest standoff between the Kremlin and Western powers since the end of the Cold War more than three decades ago.
After Russia waged war against Ukraine around a fortnight ago, the President of Ukraine has already faced three assassination bids. The reports said that he survived all the attempts after the Ukrainian intelligence agencies alerted the officials about the possible assassination attempts.
Though Russia said that it was ready to create a safe passage to evacuate civilians from Ukrainian cities under attack, the media reports said that Ukraine was ready to accept the offer. Russia wanted to send the civilians to Moscow's six proposed corridors led to Russia or its ally Belarus.
