Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has escaped death after his car was involved in an accident on Thursday.
A passenger car collided with a vehicle carrying the Ukrainian president as his motorcade that was returning to Kyiv from the Kharkiv region, Nykyforov wrote, without indicating what sort of injuries the president may have received.
He added the collision is under investigation.
“Doctors who accompany the president checked him, no serious injuries were detected,” Serhiy Nykyforov, a spokesman for Zelenskiy said in a post on Facebook.
Zelenskiy was returning from Izyum, the biggest city recaptured last week during a counteroffensive in the country’s northeast. The development was his country’s most significant battlefield victory in months.
“Doctors accompanying the head of the state provided emergency aid to the driver of the car and transferred him to ambulance,” Nykyforov wrote.
