Zelenskyy asked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and lawmakers for help to enact a no-fly zone over Ukraine.
“Justin, can you imagine you and your children hearing all these severe explosions, the bombing of the airport, the bombing of the Ottawa airport?” Zelenskyy said. “Cruise missiles are falling down and your children are asking you, ‘What happened?’”
“Dear Justin, dear guests. Can you imagine that every day you receive memorandums about the number of casualties, including women and children?” he said. “You heard about the bombings. Currently we have 97 children that died during this war.” A pregnant woman who was seen being carried on a stretcher from a bombed maternity hospital in Ukraine has died, along with her baby.
“Please close the sky, close the airspace,” he said. “Please stop the bombing. How many more cruise missiles have to fall on our cities until you make this happen?”
