A post on the Реальная Война (Real War) Telegram channel on the evening of Monday, June 26 showed the Ukrainian President surrounded by soldiers at a service station somewhere on the highway from Kyiv to the Donbas.
He arrived unannounced, stood in the queue for a coffee from a machine, that a helpful assistant showed him how to use, chatted, laughed and joked with his troops and took endless selfies with them and staff from the service station.
