Kyiv: The war between Ukraine and Russia has entered its tenth day and as tensions seem no sign of abating, questions have been raised about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's safety and his whereabouts. There has been intense speculation about Zelenskyy having left the war-torn country, a fact Ukraine has rejected.
On Friday (March 4), Russian State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin had claimed that Zelenskyy has left Ukraine and is currently in Poland, reported Sputnik. “Zelensky left Ukraine. Deputies of the Verkhovna Rada said that they could not get to him in Lvov”, he wrote on his Telegram channel. “He is now in Poland”.
Several Western countries have expressed concern in regard to Zelensky’s safety. Particularly, French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said Paris was ready “to help him if necessary”, reported Sputnik. It was also reported that the United States offered him evacuation, but he refused.
Reports of Zelenskyy leaving the Ukrainian capital surfaced last week as well, with the president refuting them and posting several video messages in which he said he remained in Kyiv. Amidst questions about his whereabouts, the Ukrainian President continued to tweet, urging the world to take action.
