Russia has launched a war against Ukraine for three days now. On Saturday morning, heavy street fighting against Russian troops has been seen in Kyiv and officials urged the citizens to take immediate shelter. However, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky rejected the  US government’s request to evacuate the capital city Kyiv because it comes under a Russian attack. According to a senior US intelligence official, when the US government asked to evacuate the capital city, the Ukraine President turned down the offer and said "I want weapons to fight."

“The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride,” Mr Zelensky said according to reports. 

The Ukraine President on Saturday released a video clip in which he said he will not leave the country. 

“Good morning everybody. Do not believe fake news. I am here,” Mr Zelensky said. “We will not lay down our weapons. We will defend our country. Our weapons are our strength. This is our land. Our country. Our children. We will protect all of them.”
