"He’s in a bunker, we understand at the moment, in a secret location, though he says he's in the sort of central part of Kyiv still," reported CNN's Matthew Chance on Thursday, soon after Zelensky delivered another address to his nation.
In a video posted to his Facebook account Thursday evening, nearly one day into Russia's invasion, Zelensky said 137 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed and 316 injured since the attack began.
Zelensky also said he believes Russian saboteur groups have entered Kyiv.
According to our information, the enemy marked me as target No. 1 — my family as target No. 2. They want to destroy Ukraine politically by destroying the head of state. We have information that enemy sabotage groups have entered Kyiv," he said.
"I am staying in the government quarter together with others," Zelensky added, according to CNN.
President Joe Biden’s press secretary said the United States is in touch with Zelensky but declined to comment on his safety amid the invasion.
