| 2022-02-27 |
| (CNN)Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has turned down an offer from the United States of evacuation from the capital city Kyiv, the Ukraine embassy in Britain said Saturday on Twitter. "The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride," Zelensky told the US, according to the embassy. "Ukrainians are proud of their President," the tweet adds. In a video posted on Saturday morning entitled "do not believe the fakes," Zelensky revealed that he is still in Kyiv. "I am here. We are not putting down arms. We will be defending our country, because our weapon is truth, and our truth is that this is our land, our country, our children, and we will defend all of this," he said. |

| #4 'I need ammunition, not a ride', Sounds like he has a problem. Next he will ask for outside help. Biden will be a no show. |
