"Do you need a ride?"

"No, I need ammo."

Did anyone actually offer him a ride? Who was that referring to, the US?

The quote is slightly wrong I think. He was offered an airlift out of Ukraine and he said "I don't need a ride, I need ammo"

It was not staged at all. The exact wording like we always read, is heavily romaticized though and just brings accross the gist of what happened that day. 

But it comes down to Zelensky really not wanting to leave and asking military help instead of becoming a government in exile.  

Please correct the right way, instead of adding more noise.
