US cites safety concerns regarding Ukrainian president
US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan has voiced concern regarding the safety of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Sullivan said on Friday that Washington was worried about the personal safety of Zelensky and was assisting with the security of the Ukrainian leader after the conflict started with Russia.
The US security official said Russia was “capable of just about anything”.
“President Zelensky’s personal safety is something that concerns us,” Sullivan told the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado. “This is a leader in wartime, dealing with an enemy in Russia that is ruthless, brutal and capable of just about anything.”
Sullivan said the US was helping to “facilitate” the Ukrainian leader’s security.
Asked whether he was worried about declining public support for Ukraine at home, Sullivan said that he worried “about literally everything,” except the continued supply of weapons to Kiev.
The US has spent $8 billion on military aid to Kiev since the start of Russia's military campaign on Feb. 24.
