LVIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky carries a pistol and would have fought to the death with his inner circle had the Russians stormed 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 Feb. 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 center, home to the presidential offices.
