The Ukrainian government has an emergency plan in its place if President Volodymyr Zelensky was killed during the Russian invasion, US State Secretary Antony Blinken said during the interview with the face of CBS Nation on Sunday. ‘Ukraine has a plan in place – that I will not talk about or enter any details on – to ensure that what we will call “government continuity” one or another. And let me leave it at the time, ‘Blinken said when he was asked whether the United States was working on a temporary plan to support the Ukrainian government without Zelensky.
This happened in the middle of the report that Zelensky had survived the three murder efforts since the beginning of the Russian invasion to Ukraine. Zelensky was too talking about the threat to his life. In fact, he opened a recent Zoom meeting with US senators saying that this might last time they saw him live.
In this context, Blinken was asked what would be a consequence if Russia killed Zelensky.
“First of all, let me say this, leadership that President Zelensky has shown, the entire government has shown extraordinary. They have become an embodiment of this very brave Ukrainian. I was only one day ago in Ukraine, at least around 15 Feet to Ukraine with me – My friends and colleagues, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, “Blinked said adding that the Ukrainian government would continue with one way or another.
Speaking of the impact of sanctions against Russia, Blinken said the recession was set in Russia. “Consumers cannot buy basic products because the company fled Russia, so it had a big impact. But at the same time, we continued to see President Putin doubled and explore this aggression against Ukraine. I think we should be ready. Unfortunately, tragically for This lasts for some time, “Blinken said.
