Zelenskyy Refuses to Leave Ukrainian Capital

Russian troops stormed toward the Ukrainian capital early Saturday, and street fighting broke out as city officials urged residents to take cover.

This sparked renewed international efforts to end the invasion, including direct sanctions against Putin.
In the midst of a worsening crisis, US President Joe Biden offered to evacuate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy from the capital.
According to a senior American intelligence official with direct knowledge of the conversation, Zelenskyy flatly refused the offer.
