Zelensky Car Crash: Ukrainian President Involved In Car Collision, 'No Serious Injuries' Found

Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky has been involved in a vehicle collision Wednesday evening while passing through the capital Kyiv, his spokesperson confirmed.

Sergii Nykyforo, the president's press secretary, confirmed that a vehicle collided with Zelensky's car but he sustained no serious injuries.

“A car collided with a car of the President of Ukraine and escort cars in Kyiv…The president was examined by a doctor, no serious damage was detected,” Nykyforo said in a Facebook post.

The spokesperson added that medical assistance was immediately given to the president and to the driver of the vehicle involved in the crash.

“Medics accompanying the Head of State provided the driver of the car with emergency aid and transferred him to an ambulance,” the post read.

The incident is now being investigated by law enforcement authorities.

Before the crash, Zelensky was coming from a visit to Izium, a recently reclaimed city in the northeastern region of Kharkiv. There he thanked Ukrainian soldiers for their hard work and efforts in retaking and defending the City.

Zelensky was seen with an army unit while in the main square attending the ceremony. A Ukrainian flag was raised amidst the burnt infrastructure in the area, just in front of the city’s municipal building.

"Ealier, when we looked up, we always looked for the blue sky, the sun. And today, looking up, we and especially the people in the temporarily occupied territories are looking for only one thing - the flag of our state," Zelensky said in a speech at the ceremony.

However, hours after Zelesnky’s visit, Russian cruise missiles struck the central part of Ukraine aiming for Kryvyi Rih, south of Kharkiv.

Establishments “critically important for people’s livelihood” were ablaze, Kyrylo Tymoshenko, the deputy head of the Ukrainian president, said in a Telegram statement, according to NBC News. There were no casualties, but several cities in the Kryvyi Rih still have no running water.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine which started on Feb. 24, 2022, has been one of the biggest wars to date since World War II.
