President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky remains in Kyiv, adviser to the head of the President's Office Mykhailo Podoliak said at a briefing on Friday in Kyiv.
"The basic scenario of the Russian special operation is clear. The only goal is to enter Kyiv and destroy the leadership of Ukraine, personally Volodymyr Zelensky. Zelensky remains in Kyiv, he must show what the resilience of the Ukrainian people means," Podoliak said.
Speaking about the economic situation, Podoliak said that commercial banks are closed, the state banking sector is working.
"Mobile communications, energy, water, everything works as usual. All ports are closed, air traffic is closed. The availability of fuel is a problem, there are limits, there is a shortage of fuel. There are enough goods in stores. Pharmacies are working. All critical infrastructure facilities are taken under special security," he said.
