US warns Russia could exploit Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s absence to topple him before return to Kyiv
The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, is set to deliver a rallying call to the west to save his country from a Russian invasion when he plans to address a security conference in Munich on Saturday, despite US warnings that Russia might exploit his absence to topple him before he returns to Kyiv.
His planned trip comes as Russian separatist forces have called for a general mobilisation in the Russia-supporting east of the country.
