The United States is calling on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to leave Kyiv for Lviv for his safety. An article with this title published American TV channel ABC.
At the same time, journalists do not disclose the sources of this information, nor do they explain what specific concerns this recommendation is caused by.
Earlier, NBC correspondent Richard Engel reported that the US authorities discussed with the government of Ukraine the possible departure of Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky in the event of an escalation in the country.
The US authorities decided to temporarily transfer their embassy in Ukraine from Kiev to Lvov on February 14. As explained by the head of the State Department Anthony Blinken, the reason was the “dramatic acceleration of the buildup of Russian forces” on the border with Ukraine.
