Zelensky was asked if he was worried about his personal safety after his interior minister was killed in a helicopter crash. On this, he said that he is not worried. Zelensky further said that he is not worried about his safety, he does not want to go anywhere and he only needs ammunition to fight the war. Along with this, he has asked the countries giving aid to Ukraine to increase their speed. At the same time, he said in a tone of warning that ‘tyranny is overtaking democracy’.
Let us inform you that before his address, a helicopter accident happened near Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.

Kyiv says they need Western battle tanks to push Russia back.
