Ukrainian President Zelenskyy recalled Pearl Harbor and 9/11 in a plea for U.S. aid as he addressed lawmakers from Kyiv
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday invoked historically potent attacks on the U.S. at Pearl Harbor and on Sept. 11, 2001, pleading with Congress for additional military aid as his nation fights to repel a Russian invasion.
The Ukrainian president invoked Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous civil-rights-era “I Have a Dream” speech, calling again for a no-fly zone above his nation. “Such a powerful request and plea,” said Sen. Sherrod Brown . “The options are just terrible. The best hope at this point is that we contain [Putin] somehow and minimize the suffering vs. escalation into World War 3.”
“We need to give him more defense mechanisms. He kept saying no-fly zone. I think that’s probably still a non-starter,” said Sen. Shelley Moore Capito . “That doesn’t mean we can’t up the amount, do more with equipment and drones and other things that would be just as helpful.” Lawmakers shook their heads in horror at the video he played showing Ukrainian cities getting obliterated by Russian shelling. Rep. Anthony Gonzalez could be heard muttering “Jesus.” Other members of Congress wiped away tears and looked away from the screen at some of the more gruesome moments.
