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.

According to the embassy, Zelensky told the US: “The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

“Ukrainians are proud of their President,” the tweet adds.

In a video posted Saturday morning on Twitter, Zelensky said, “we are not putting down arms.”
