Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been involved in a car accident on his return to Kyiv from the recently liberated city, Izyum where he had visited troops.
A spokesperson for the leader revealed that a passenger car collided with the presidential vehicle and his escort in the capital Kyiv.
Sergii Nykyforov said: “The president was examined by a doctor, no serious injuries were found.” He added that all the circumstances of the traffic accident were being investigated by law enforcement officers.
The driver of the car that collided with the motorcade was treated at the scene and driven away in an ambulance.
