US Rules Out Ukraine No-fly Zone After Zelenskyy Appeal by Palmyra: 3:46pm On Mar 01, 2022 |
The United States has ruled out enforcing a “no-fly zone” on Russian aircraft over Ukraine after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Western nations to consider such a measure to stop any further bombardment by Russia. In a video address, Zelenskyy said Russia had launched 56 rocket strikes and fired 113 cruise missiles in the past five days since the start of the war on February 24. Zelenskyy, who did not specify how and by whom a no-fly zone would be enforced, accused Russia of committing war crimes and said it should be brought before an international tribunal. He also said Russia had continued to bombard Ukrainian cities during a first round of talks with Ukrainian officials in Belarus on Monday. “I believe that Russia is trying to apply pressure in this unsubtle way. Do not waste time. We do not accept such tactics. Fair negotiations can occur when one side does not hit the other side with rocket artillery at the very moment of negotiations,” he said. But Washington, which has promised military aid, rejected the call to establish a no-fly zone, saying it would be a step towards a direct conflict between the United States and Russia. “The president has been very clear that he is not intending to send US troops to fight a war with Russia,” White House spokesperson Jen Psaki said on Monday. “And I think what’s important to note here is that is essentially what this would be a step toward, because a no-fly zone would require implementation,” she added. “It would require deploying US military to enforce which would be a direct conflict, a potentially direct conflict, and potentially war with Russia, which is something we are not planning to be a part of.” More than 500,000 people have fled Ukraine, according to the United Nations, setting off a refugee crisis with thousands also awaiting passage at seven European border crossings. At least 102 civilians in Ukraine have been killed since the invasion started, but the real figure could be much higher, the UN said on Monday. |

FERNANDEZISBACK: The best hope is for Russia and Ukraine to find a peaceful end to this. Children are starving...and Putin's strategy seems to be the ancient style of build a siege outside the city until the inhabitants surrender....the UN must act otherwise we can all say goodbye to peace in the world as China is getting ready to invade Taiwan....and so the strong countries will start another free for all for the weak countries |

The discerning minds around the globe should learn one or two from what's happening in Ukraine as we speak. It's obvious that part of the reason why this crises escalated this way is because of the total display of mediocrity on the part of Ukrainian leaders. Ukrainians elected a platoon of political bimbos as their leaders during the most critical period in their young Nations history.. The president was a former comedian. The Mayor of Kiev is Vitali Klitschko! Don't know how a country as big and important as Ukraine ended up with that kind of weird mix.. The alarming lack of depth in their political decisions and the way they guided their people into this massacre is there for all to see.. Zelensky is asking for a no fly zone! I mean, is that not the height of tone deaf mediocrity!? No fly zone against who? Against a permanent member of The United Nations security council? Against a nuclear power? Against the country with the most sophisticated cruise missiles arsenal and the most sophisticated Air defence systems? You know what? I think that growing up with a powerful neighbor might make one take the powerful one for granted. There's no way any power in the world would intervene. Putin is already dangling his nuclear arsenal to frighten all adversaries... Zelensky should have known this and saved his country this mess by reaching peaceful agreements with Russia.. 16 Likes 2 Shares |

U.S does not want this Russia/Ukraine war to turn into world war 3. If it turns to world war, Ukraine will suffer it. Nothing will happen to U.S. So, U S knows Ukraine will suffer it and that's why US cannot join this war. Ukraine does not have air defense systems. So, Russia will deal with them if U S joins the war. U.S is smart and wants to save Ukraine from destruction. 3 Likes |

IgOga:I am not sure China will do anything funny.. Chinese will work over the long term to set up circumstances that will make Taiwan want to reunify with China without shedding a single drop of Chinese or Taiwanese blood...they are smart..well it still can happen but the probability is low as far as they don't officially declare independence.. Back to Putin..he ain't winning this cos in the long run he might not be able to stand the sanction and economy collapse... |

mrvitalis:They are just prolonging the suffering in Ukraine to wrench out enough global hate against Putin. As usual, they don't care about the lives of the Ukrainians. It was the same thing in Georgia, where they got the then President of Georgia to take on Moscow. His country was bombed and President Bush simply dropped some platitudes. That was it. The guy is even in prison in Georgia these days after living in exile for years. There was no way in hell that Ukraine would have won this war, so why allow it to happen? 8 Likes |
