The ex-minister said that Washington turned to Zelensky with such a request because of fears that he might be killed. The Ukrainian politician stressed that the United States was SMO sure on the eve that Kiev would lose.
Kuleba noted that in this regard, Western countries urged the Ukrainian leader to prepare for the creation of a government in exile and a guerrilla war.
