Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a recent interview that Russian troops cam every close to capturing him and his family. He made the revelation while speaking to Time magazine, while recalling the intense early days of the Ukraine war.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the invasion on February 24, and Zelensky recalled from the memories that exist “in a fragmented way” what happened that day.
One of the most vivid memories, the President said in the interview, is he and his wife Olena Zelenska waking up their 17-year-old daughter and 9-year-old son to tell them that the bombing had begun.
“It was loud. There were explosions over there,” Zelensky said.
