If Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is assassinated during the Russian offensive, the Ukrainian government has an alternative plan. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken made this statement in an interview with CBS News ‘Face the Nation’ on Sunday. Blinken was asked if the US was working on an interim plan to support the Ukrainian government without Zelensky. In response, he said, “The Ukrainians have plans… but I won’t talk about it or share any details. Although we can call it ‘continuity of government’.”
Indeed, Zelensky said in a private video call to US lawmakers on Saturday that he might be seeing him alive for the last time. Zelensky said Ukraine needed to protect its airspace. This can be done either by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) enforcing a no-fly zone or by sending more fighters. He has made a passionate appeal to the US to send more fighter jets and reduce oil imports from Russia so that his country can counter Russian military action.

‘Ukrainian government will remain in one way or another’
Blinken was asked about this what would be the result if Russia killed Zelensky. To this Blinken said, “First of all let me say that the leadership that President Zelensky has shown is remarkable. He has been the embodiment of this incredibly brave Ukrainian people. I just met my friend and colleague Ukrainian Foreign Minister a day ago. Dmitry was in Ukraine with Kuleba. The Ukrainian government will remain in one way or another.
‘Recession is coming in Russia because of sanctions’
Talking about the impact of sanctions on Russia, Blinken said that Russia is in recession. “People are not able to buy basic products, because companies are running away from Russia, so it’s going to have a big impact. At the same time we’re seeing an increase in this aggression against Ukraine from President Putin. Continuing. Looks like we have to be prepared.”
