Ukraine invasion - 'Work, sleep', no time to see family says Ukraine's Zelenskyy on wartime regime

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says that his daily regime during the Russian invasion of the country is 'work and sleep.'

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Tuesday that his daily regime during the Russian invasion of the country is "work and sleep."

In a joint interview for Reuters and CNN, the president appeared emotional as he said he had not seen his family for three days.

Zelenskyy has refused offers of evacuation and remained in Kyiv to rally his people against the invasion, constantly reassuring the population that neither he, his family or closest officials have left.

The 44-year-old president was unshaven and wore a simple khaki T shirt, trousers and combat boots for the interview, which took place in a building heavily guarded by the military.

Just as he finished talking to reporters, news emerged that a Russian missile had struck a TV tower near the Babyn Yar Holocaust memorial site in the Ukrainian capital, killing at least five people.
