BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 16
Trend:
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the US Congress via video link on March 16, Trend reports with reference to UNIAN news agency.
He urged the US to continue imposing sanctions on Russia in his video address.
"Today it is not enough to be the leader of the country, it is necessary to be the leader of the world who strives to establish peace. I do not see the meaning of life if it is impossible to stop death," he said.
He also once again called for establishing a no-fly zone over Ukraine and providing the country with aviation and anti-aircraft missile systems for protection. He reproached Western partners for the fact that Ukraine does not ask for much and only asks for help.
"If that's too much and we can't ask for it, then here's an alternative for you: you know we need S-300 defense systems and others," he called.
Zelenskyy emphasized that, much depends on the ability to use aircraft on the battlefield.
"Powerful aviation will help protect our people, our freedom and our land. Aircraft will help us protect Ukraine and Europe. You have them. But they are on the ground, not in the Ukrainian sky," he said.
