Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy asked the US Congress for a no-fly zone over his country as Russia continued its invasion.

The president spoke in front of the British and Canadian parliaments and called for financial interventions against Russia. He asked for something else.

• “New sanctions…every week until the Russian military machine stops;”
• An extension of sanctions to “all politicians in the Russian Federation who remain in their offices and do not cut ties with those who are responsible for the aggression against Ukraine;”
• All US companies to “leave Russia…immediately because it is flooded with our blood;”
• US representatives to put pressure on companies in their constituencies that are still doing business with Russia to cut ties.
• All US ports to be closed to Russian goods.
