It is reported that Zelensky said in previous press statements to him: “According to our information, the enemy (Russia) has identified me as Target No. 1, and my family as Target No. 2. They want to destroy Ukraine politically by destroying the head of state. We have information that hostile sabotage groups have entered Kyiv.”
