"VOLODYMYR Zelensky has been involved in a car crash just hours after vowing to march "forward to victory".

The Ukrainian President was travelling through Kyiv when the vehicle he was in was struck by another car.
His press secretary Sergii Nykyforov said the heroic leader was not seriously injured in the smash.

He said Zelensky was checked over by medics.
The driver of the car was given emergency treatment at the scene before being handed over ambulance crews.

Ukrainian authorities are now investigating the incident.

The smash happened after the lionhearted leader today joined troops in the town of Izium – a former Russian stronghold – days after Putin’s troops fled in their worst defeat since the retreat from Kyiv."
