WASHINGTON (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy cited Pearl Harbor and the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 on Wednesday as he appealed to the U.S. Congress to do more to help Ukraine’s fight against Russia, but acknowledged the no-fly zone he has sought to “close the sky” over his country may not happen.
Livestreamed into the Capitol complex, Zelenskyy said the U.S. must sanction Russian lawmakers and block imports, and he showed a packed auditorium of lawmakers an emotional video of the destruction and devastation his country has suffered in the war.

Could use someone like him in DC. They gave him standing ovation, then went to lunch, and did nothing.

I felt the video he shown all those watching was extremely effective in highlighting the atrocities and war crimes of Putin and Russian military.

For MSgt Aldi (blocking ne won't keep me from responding to a post),
He still asked for a no fly zone for humanitarian reasons but also expanded in lieu of options by asking for more anti air defense capabilities. So yes it's good to see him not limit his line of thinking.
