Anscheinend können wir dem Mann auch nicht helfen. Munition hamwanich. Aber wir fahren gerne seine Landsleute in Berlin. Nur als Kutscher ohne Ortskenntnis können wir sie hier nicht brauchen. Davon gibt es schon zu viele.
Did Zelensky say, ’I need ammunition, not a ride’? - The Washington Post

The AP story on Feb. 25 made a key point — that Zelensky uttered this remark as he rejected a U.S. offer of an immediate evacuation.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was asked to evacuate Kyiv at the behest of the U.S. government but turned down the offer. Zelensky said in response: “The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride,” according to a senior American intelligence official with direct knowledge of the conversation, who described Zelensky as upbeat.
The attribution was a single source, but on the surface it appears to be a good one — a senior U.S. official “with direct knowledge of the conversation.” That suggests a person with access to a transcript or who had even listened in on the call.
