Zelensky about when he first left Bankova during the war/OP
Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that he first left the President's Office in the early days of the war.
A short trip took place to checkpoints, but for security reasons, the presidential guards asked that neither photos nor publicly disseminated information be recorded anywhere.
In the early days, I rode without photos or any stories. This story was without a press service. We went to see our posts, our military and how they work. We drove well,” Zelensky said.
He noted that his guards had gone crazy then.
“I wanted to see how it was. I wanted to talk about how people feel at checkpoints in general “, the President added.
Borscht at the checkpoint
The next trip was also to checkpoints, where Zelensky was treated to borscht, which he still remembers.
“At the checkpoint, the man was cool. In general, what an irony of fate. A man comes to the defense, to the guys every day. He lives somewhere in the village. He just cooks borsch without questions or answers,” the head of state said.
Adds that he loves people who know why they lived the day.

Recall that in the first hours of the war, Russian troops reached the government quarter and tried to storm the President’s Office. At that time, Volodymyr Zelensky was there with his wife and children. The goal of the Russian groups was to kill or capture Zelensky and his family. Shooting began around the government quarter, and the Russian military tried to storm Bankovaya twice.
