President Volodymyr Zelensky has survived following an incident which saw a car slam into his motorcade.
The Ukrainian president was reportedly not seriously injured after the crash. But an ambulance rushed his driver to hospital.
Mr Zelensky's spokesman Sergei Nikiforov said the president was examined after the crash by medics who had been escorting him. He added that the incident occurred in the nation's capital Kyiv.

In a statement, Mr Nikforov said: "In Kyiv, a car collided with the car of the President of Ukraine and escort vehicles. The doctors accompanying the head of state provided the driver of the car with emergency assistance.
"The President was examined by a doctor, no serious injuries were found. Law enforcement officers will find out all the circumstances of the accident."
Mr Zelensky's office has sent out the video of the speech the president delivers on a nightly basis. It was released just minutes after Mr Nikforov's statement was published.
The incident follows an alleged assassination attempt targeting Russian President Vladimir Putin yesterday. The limousine he was travelling in was reportedly hit by a "loud bang" in what is thought might have been an attack but the vehicle drove to safety.
