The call for a no-fly zone over Ukraine was reiterated by Volodymyr Zelensky, speaking in Canada's parliament, where he was warmly applauded by the audience at the end of his speech.
The President of Ukraine said that so far his country is mourning 97 dead children killed because of the war. "I don't know if you can imagine a similar catastrophe in Canada. Thousands were wiped out. Every night is a nightmare. Last night they hit apartment buildings in Kiev where civilians were sleeping. In every city they enter they take down Ukrainian flags, something you wouldn't want to imagine for Canada," he pointed out."
"You have to understand that we have a rage for life, we want to win, we want life to win. That's why we say and say again ban the flights. How many more bombs can we take? We see some of our friends saying that we have to withstand a little more because it would be dangerous for everyone," he stressed.
Zelensky even took a swipe at the issue of Ukraine's membership in NATO. "Some people talk about how we should avoid escalation of the military conflict. When we say we want to join NATO, we don't get a clear answer," he said."
In this war, he called on Canada to immediately acquiesce to the sanctions, which, however, was not the end of the war. "Kiev is being bombed. And we are talking about peaceful cities, a peaceful country being bombed. Protect Ukraine and Europe, because (the Russians) have shown the terrorist nature of the attack," he said."
Zelensky called on Canada to stand up and lead the way in efforts to close airspace against Russian missiles. "It is very important to close the airspace," he said.
"This is a historic moment that needs everyone's support. I am sure that you will stand up to this historic moment. We as Ukraine want to live, we want peace."
