'Americans are safer in Kiev than LA': Ukraine president blasts Biden for evacuating US citizens and encouraging his country to democratize - 'but being the first to leave when Russia turns up temperature'

Volodymyr Zelensky is confident that there is not an 'imminent threat' to Kiev, according to a source close with the Ukraine president, who blasted President Joe Biden for recalling U.S. embassy personnel from the country amid threat of Russian invasion.

The source also took aim at Biden's State Department informing American citizens in Ukraine to leave the country.

'The fact that the US was the first one to announce this is extremely disappointing,' the source told BuzzFeed News on Monday.

'Quite frankly these Americans are safer in Kievthan they are in Los Angeles … or any other crime-ridden city in the U.S.,' the Zelensky source added in taking aim at the spiking crime rates in U.S. cities.

The source said Zelensky 'does not think there's any remotely imminent threat to Kiev'.

After pulling embassy personnel and their families from Ukraine, Biden's State Department warned American citizens in the country to leave on their own, claiming the U.S. government will not be able to evacuate citizens should Russia invade.

'Given that the President has said military action by Russia could come at any time, the US government will not be in a position to evacuate US citizens,' State Department officials said during a press call over the weekend.

'So U.S. citizens currently present in Ukraine should plan accordingly,' they added, suggesting people arrange commercial flights.

The source close to Zelensky told BuzzFeed that the Ukrainian president's office views Biden's moves as 'utterly ridiculous' and symbolic of 'U.S. inconsistency.'

'On the one hand, [Washington tells Ukraine] how we should democratize. 'We stand with you. It's your right to determine to join the West. We will stand with you against Russian aggression,'

'Then Russia turns up the temperature and they're the first to leave,'

You know things are bad when you agree with the “Russians” and laugh because they mock our “leaders”.

I’m in L.A. aka West Mexico and he’s right. I’d rather face Russian AK’s than listen to woke fags here lecture me about mask mandates.
