In this self-recorded video, broadcast in the first days of the full-scale Russian invasion, Ukraine's President Vladimir Zelensky asserts that he and his government are staying in Kiev. On the night this was filmed, Russian forces had cut off Kiev from Western Ukraine, had seized key areas north of the city, and were trying to push south to seize the capitol. "I'm here" Zelensky says. Zelensky also reportedly answered a US evacuation offer with, "The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride."
