US may evacuate Zelensky from Kyiv

The US government has offered Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to assist in the evacuation if necessary, The Washington Post reports, citing US and Ukrainian sources.

"The US government is ready to help Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky leave Kyiv" if necessary, but he "so far refused to leave," the newspaper writes, Interfax reports.
