Ukraine Crises: Zelenskyy declines US offer to evacuate Kyiv -high time for West to issue ultimatum to Putin "get out of Ukraine or else"

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was asked to evacuate Kyiv at the behest of the U.S. government but turned down the offer.

Zelenskyy said in response: “The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride,” according to a senior American intelligence official with direct knowledge of the conversation, who described Zelenskyy as upbeat.

Invading Russian forces closed in on Ukraine’s capital on Saturday, in an apparent encircling movement after a barrage of airstrikes on cities and military bases around the country.

Note EU-Digest: Sanctions have a tendency to hurt populations more than the leadership: high time for the Western Allies to tell Putin: "Get out of Ukraine or else".
