"We are making contingency plans for every possible scenario," a source in the US administration said.
He also did not rule out the possibility of a Ukrainian government in exile in Poland.
US journalists wrote that Mr. Zelensky discussed with Washington about moving his location from Kiev to Lvov. A senior Ukrainian official said that Zelensky's security guards could take him and his ministers to the country's western border at short notice, but he refused to leave.
The article also said European and US diplomats "started preparing how to support the Ukrainian government" in case Kiev surrendered. An earlier UN General Assembly resolution condemning the actions of the Russian government was the basis for recognizing Zelensky as the country's legitimate leader, a senior European diplomatic source said on condition of anonymity./.
