"I need ammunition, not a ride."

New @AP reporting tonight: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was asked to evacuate Kyiv at the behest of the U.S. government but turned down the offer. An American official tells me Zelenskyy said, “The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.”

I just ordered a small Ukrainian flag to mount on my mailbox.

This brave man no doubt will go to his death at the hands of Putin the monster.

Assassinating Zelensky may end up being Putin's biggest mistake. He may think this will frighten the rest of the world, but it will do exactly the opposite. It will galvanize the rest of the world in opposition.
