I need ammunition, not a ride

"I need ammunition, not a ride" is a quote by Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, spoken when he refused international offers to evacuate him from Kyiv at the start of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The quote has also been rendered in English as "I need weapons, not a taxi" (Ukrainian: «мені потрібна зброя, а не таксі», romanized: "meni potribna zbroya, a ne taksi").
