President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky on the occasion of the fourth anniversary of the full-scale invasion of Russia showed a bunker in the Office of the President, where he spent the first days of the great war, informs the portal PromPolitInform.
We have never shown this object before, at the beginning of the war there were hundreds of people here. I worked here, then I went upstairs, I addressed you, the people. Here was our team, the government, daily meetings. And, frankly, well, it happened differently, and the official language and non-literary sounded here, because every aid package, every sanctions against Russia, every batch of weapons – all this had to be real… really gnaw, – said the head of state.
The Ukrainian leader showed the corridors of the bunker, as well as his office in it.
This office, this little room in the bunker on Bankova Street, here were my first conversations with the leaders of the world at the beginning of the war. I spoke with President Biden here, and it was here that I heard: “Vladimir, there is a threat, you urgently need to leave Ukraine. We are ready to help with this.” And then I replied that I needed a weapon, not a taxi, “he said.
In total, Zelensky’s appeal to the fourth anniversary of the war lasts almost 19 minutes.
