Zelensky continued his push for the imposition of a no-fly zone over Ukraine, and appealed for more planes and defence systems to respond to the Russian invasion launched in February that has caused large-scale destruction in his country and unleashed a wave of refugees. Zelensky’s address to Washington legislators came a day after he made a plea to Canada’s parliament for more Western sanctions on Russia and the imposition of a no-fly zone over Ukraine.
Zelensky invoked past attacks on the US — in 1941 by Japanese forces at Pearl Harbor and in 2001 by Al-Qaeda militants in hijacked airliners — in depicting Ukraine’s plight. He mentioned Mt Rushmore, the mountainside monument in South Dakota with sculpted faces of four of America’s greatest presidents.
Zelensky has sought in recent weeks to build support for his country in speeches to foreign audiences, including the European and UK parliaments. On Tuesday, the US Senate passed a resolution unanimously condemning Russia’s President Vladimir Putin as a war criminal.
