Zelensky Vows To Stay In Kyiv As Russia Presses Advance | Talking Points Memo

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has provided masterful leadership since Russia invaded. This morning, Ukraine let it be known that when the US offered him safe passage out of the country, he responded, “I need ammunition, I don’t need a ride.”

It would be wonderful. But I wish some gentle spirit could put those little kids in the basement the first night with their coloring books back in their homes, and this had never happened, and there was rain falling so they colored and then ran to show mom what they’d done. That one won’t come true.

If the Ruskees start attacking overhead and dropping bombs, moving road signs and making molotov cocktails isn’t going to be too helpful. This could be getting really serious, Ukraine could be in for a world of hurt.
