In the forthcoming book The Fight of a Lifetime: Inside Joe Biden's White House, author Chris Whipple reports that at the same time, Zelensky publicly dismissed warnings from US officials that Moscow would soon launch the largest ground invasion since the end of World War II. .

The United States warned Zelensky about Russia's plans. This was rather unusual, as US officials rarely share intelligence publicly. But the Biden administration has begun regularly revealing Russia's plans to journalists and foreign governments.

Zelensky believed that the US warnings could cause panic in Ukraine and negative consequences for the Ukrainian economy.

But in a copy of his book, Whipple said that Burns went to Kyiv to "verify his reality."

He said Biden had instructed the CIA director — the former US ambassador to Russia — to provide Zelensky with "the exact details of the Russian conspiracies."

“This immediately attracted the attention of Zelensky, he was taken aback by this news,” he wrote.

Ukrainian officials say Zelenskiy has survived more than 12 attempts on his life by Russian forces since the war began last February.

Whipple said at least two of the assassination warnings were linked to US intelligence shared by Burns during his visit to Kyiv.
