Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky repeated his pleas for a no-fly zone over Ukraine and asked for further sanctions against Russia.
"Just remember it, remember, September 11, a terrible day in 2001 when evil tried to turn U.S. cities into battlefields, when innocent people were attacked from air, just like nobody else expected it and you could not stop it," he said.Calling for the no-fly zone, he said:"Russia has turned the Ukrainian sky into a source of death for thousands of people."
However, the Ukrainian president appeared to acknowledge that the U.S. and NATO have ruled this out and offered an"alternative" suggestion, requesting aircraft., on the ability to use aircraft, powerful strong aviation to protect our people, our freedom, our land, aircraft that can help Ukraine, help Europe. You know they exist and you have them, but they are on Earth not in the Ukrainian sky," Zelensky said.
Stressing the need for new institutions, the president said he was proposing"a union of responsible countries that have the strength and consciousness to stop conflicts immediately."
