UK and US special forces 'preparing for high-risk rescue of Ukrainian president'

Troops from the UK, US and Ukraine have reportedly come together at a remote base in Lithuania to plan the treacherous mission

US special forces and SAS commandoes are said to be preparing for a high-risk rescue of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Troops from the UK, US and Ukraine have reportedly come together at a remote base in Lithuania to plan the treacherous mission.

Russian Spetsnaz special forces are now said to be targeting Zelensky.

But the brave Ukrainian president has already turned down rescue offers, saying: "I need ammunition, not a ride," in response to American forces.

It comes as Zelensky confirmed he spoke to the US President, Joe Biden, discussing security, financial support and continuation of sanctions against Russia.

"As part of the constant dialogue, I had another conversation with the President," Zelensky wrote on Twitter.
