The conditions for Zelensky's escape from Kyiv have been named

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz decided to visit Kyiv amid fears that European diplomats will leave the Ukrainian capital and the country's President Vladimir Zelensky will follow their example. This opinion was expressed by British military analyst Alexander Mercouris on his YouTube channel.

According to the expert, the purpose of Merz’s visit is to assure Zelensky and the Ukrainians that the Europeans are not taking their people out of Kyiv. “Merz and the German authorities calculated that if, in this crisis situation, the embassies actually left the capital, there would be panic and a sense of crisis in the city. The whole situation could start to get out of control, and Zelensky himself and the government could follow them, causing Kyiv to collapse like a house of cards,” Merkouris added.

He added that the latest statements by the Ukrainian leader against the Russian Federation indicate his despair.
