It was also revealed that Zelensky was given the option to evacuate from Kyiv at the behest of the U.S. government.
According to the Associated Press and other wires, Zelensky said in response to the offer:
"The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride”
A senior US official with direct knowledge of the conversation also described Zelensky as upbeat.
Zelensky had previously debunked Russian propaganda that he has fled the capital Kyiv by defiantly posting a video of him and his team standing out on the city streets at night.
More recently, he posted yet another video of him debunking false rumours that Ukraine is laying down arms.
