Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy invoked the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Sept. 11 terror strikes on America on Wednesday as he pleaded with the U.S. Congress to get more aid for his country to fight against its invasion by Russia.
Zelensky asked the U.S. to implement a no-fly zone over Ukraine to stem the Russian attacks.
“Is this a lot to ask for to create a no-fly zone over Ukraine to save people?” “Is this too much to ask?” he said in the speech, which was delivered remotely via video link from the Ukrainian capital Kyiv.
He also used graphic imagery as the audience went wild with a standing ovation … Actually three standing ovations come to think of it..
His address featured the display of a graphic video that included tragic footage from the conflict in Ukraine, including disturbing photographs of civilian casualties of the war, destroyed buildings, and terrifying images of military attacks there.
He called on the US to “close the sky” to prevent the Russian airstrikes that are devastating Ukraine, which President Joe Biden and other Western leaders have so far refused to do to avoid a direct confrontation with Putin’s Russia.
