NDTV/Reuters: "Being Taken Captive By Russia Would Be A Disgrace": Volodymyr Zelensky
In the first days after the February24, 2022 invasion, Ukrainian officials said Russian intelligence units tried to break into Kyiv but were defeated.
Lviv: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky carries a pistol and would have fought to the death with his inner circle had the Russians attacked his Kyiv headquarters at the start of the war, he said in an interview shown on Saturday.
"I know how to shoot. Could you imagine (a headline like) 'The President of Ukraine is taken captive by Russians?' This is a disgrace. I believe this would be a disgrace," he told the 1 1 television channel.
In the first days after the February 24, 2022 invasion, Ukrainian officials said Russian intelligence units tried to break into Kyiv but were defeated and failed to reach Bankova Street in the centre, home to the presidential offices.
Other Russian units launched an attack on the outskirts of Kyiv, but were unable to advance. Officials also reported several unsuccessful sabotage attempts inside the city.
"I think if they had gone inside, into the administration, we would not be here," Zelensky said. It was not clear which Russian units he was referring to.

WNU Editor: I have seen a lot of pictures and videos of Zelensky in the past year. There is no indication that he carries a gun, but it would not surprise me if he does carry one.

Can’t wait to see what the Ukrainian loving lefties think of Zelensky when he flees to Florida (has a five plus million dollar home there already) votes for Trump and…… wait for it……Caries a gun 😂
This is a propaganda article. Old man Assad used to carry a .38. The western press loudly condemned him for it.
But now? The great hero zelinski carries a gun, because he will never surrender. What crap.
The commies are so bitter here. Love it.
According to reports, zelensky has been instructed by allies to suicide before capture. His personal firearm is a specially designed 9 mm with a suppository tip. In event of capture, Zelensky would insert the pistol into his rectum and squeeze the trigger.
Who cares.
