Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said at a press conference Thursday that if the U.S. and NATO will not establish a "no-fly" zone over Ukraine, they should provide Ukraine with warplanes to defend itself against Russia's aerial assault.

Why it matters: The U.S. and NATO have said enforcing a "no-fly" zone would potentially require their forces to shoot down Russian aircraft, drawing them directly into a conflict with a nuclear power.

The European Union's foreign policy chief stunned observers when he said last week that EU countries formerly part of the Eastern Bloc would deliver Soviet-era fighter jets that Ukrainian pilots were capable of operating.
That promise appears to have fallen apart, however, as Poland, Bulgaria and Slovakia have said they do not plan to expand the scope of their military aid to Ukraine to include aircraft.
What they're saying: "I say every day if you cannot shut the sky now, then give us the timeline when you will do it? If you now cannot provide the timeline, tell us how many people have to die?" Zelensky asked at a lengthy press conference with reporters in Kyiv.

"Tell me how many. I'll go to count and wait for this moment. I hope the sky will be shut down. If you don't have strength and courage to do that, then give me the planes. Wouldn't that be fair?"
The big picture: Zelensky, who has become a global icon of Ukraine's resistance, acknowledged the fear that comes from Vladimir Putin's threats to his life, his family and his country.

"I feel pain as anybody else," Zelensky said. "It would not be normal not to."
"I don’t want Ukraine’s history to be a legend about 300 Spartans," he added. "I want peace."

Kyase:
This man talks too much abeg


even Putin no dey talk like this

shut up ur smelling mouth ,will u keep quiet monkey

This Man na clown.

Putin dey catch cruise with Ukraine

This zelensky na fool I swear. NATO and EU don't give a fцck about you. They only 'stand' with you while your people and economic centres are being decimated.
The Minsk II agreement wherein Russia and Ukraine agreed to Ukraine being neutral nation on the ground that they would not romanticize with the west was on the Verge of being broken by this comedian. He didn't heed to warnings. He's sacrificing his people to join NATO and EU on the ground of sympathy since the official protocol failed to yield any result.
If he refuses to uphold the neutralty status, he will lose more civilians and and set his country back by decades. That's why actors and comedians shouldn't be allowed in the corridors of power. Better return to your stand up comedy

This guy is cracking me up

He should go back to comedy
He's good

This idiot want to drag the whole world into this. Shey you want the world to end because of Ukraine? It's obvious to you now that the west are not ready to save you,and you also know that no matter what you can never defeat Russia, the more you delay the more your country got destroyed and more people dies,why not just agree to Russia's demand now to save Ukraine, lives and property. If yo don't do this Russia will definitely have their way,at a very high cost in your expense. Use ur head.

He is winning on media just like those Rebels in Syria won on Twitter, MSN and Obama even said Assad will fall with few days but we all knew what happened next

Well Russia troops are moving forward.

I just love this man. Always standing up to emotional baby Putin no matter what.
If he dies, he died a hero

Yes he is brave, but hee is now fighting a lost war, he needs to surrender and accept Russia terms and conditions for peace.

More than half a million Ukrainian have become refugees in Poland.

Cizarr:
Most of the people condemning this man should rethink, if your president can be so braved like this man.... insecurities in this country would hv bn thing of past.

if terrorist Buhari is half brave of this man
boko haram would have been history.

I miss Idris of Chad

Parachoko:

This is like saying Nigeria should accept the terms and conditions of Boko Haram invaders for peace. Why not ask baby Putin to back down?

The example you gave is not reasonable.

Boko Haram is not a state actor, a terrorist group.

The fight against Boko Haram is a COIN, what is happening in the Eastern part of Europe is a full blown war.

The Russians will eventually cut of the military supply from Poland, remove zelenesky and install a puppet in Kiev.

NATO will never go to war for Ukraine

And Ukraine will lose in this war too

Their cities will be destroyed, Ukrainians will die and at the end, still lose the war.

He can just give up now and this madness will end. Putin has the momentum and he has said he won't back down.

lols. You can be a state actor and still terrorize people.
You should lay emphasis more on Putin backing down than zelensky surrending.

Putin said he won't back down, you won't him to back down and Ukraine eventually join NATO?

Why did USA not agree to USSR stationing their missile in Cuba? The USA was even ready to go to war for the missiles not to be station in Cuba.

Do you even know why the USSR chose to station their missiles in Cuba?

Wasting his citizens life for self ego, this is not martyrdom, this is absolute foolishness

I love this man.

Pro-Putin looooonatics are worse than Putin himself...

Those of you hailing this man are daft. Who will fly to plane? Is it not his citizens? A good leader knows when to fight and when not to. In this particular situation the best decision would have been dialogue. Honour the minsk agreement, save your country and save your people.

Ukraine is not in NATO, wasn't even qualified to join and the US doesn't have missles in ukraine. So whats with Putin's madness? And whats your point?

Jackanda1:

How's Ukraine not qualify to join NATO?

Even as at last year, NATO still said Ukraine can join NATO, though there is a process, once they go through the process successfully, then they will join NATO, when they Join NATO, there will be US missiles in Ukraine.

You saw what I wrote, read and understand and still asking what my point is.

Does this guy know the meaning of a no-fly zone? Is he indirectly saying NATO should start attacking Russia's planes over Ukraine? He is taking this comedy show too far. Or is he a clown?

seunny4lif:
Why does he need jets, if Ukraine are winning already according to MSM and Twitter

He need planes before the only place left for Russia is up there....
Overhyped Russia
