Zelensky's car involved in car accident, Zelensky not seriously hurt: spokesman

The spokesman Serhii Nykyforov - who did not say when the accident occurred - said Zelenskiy's car had collided with a private vehicle. "The president was examined by a doctor, no serious injuries were found," he said, adding the accident would be investigated.

The car of the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was involved in a traffic accident in Kyiv, but Zelensky was not seriously hurt in the accident, his spokesman said.

Serhii Nykyforov shared the incident in a Facebook post early on Thursday.

Nykyforov - who did not say when the accident occurred - said Zelenskiy's car had collided with a private vehicle.

"The president was examined by a doctor, no serious injuries were found," he said, adding the accident would be investigated.

Medics accompanying Zelenskiy gave the driver of the private car emergency aid and put him in an ambulance, he said.

Minutes after Nykyforov made his statement, Zelenskiy's office released the video of the nighttime address that the president gives every day.
