President Zelensky says that Russia will not stop with Ukraine. This attack will affect the freedoms of the rest of the world. He also urged the US and NATO to reconsider Ukraine’s airspace as a no-fly zone.
“We cannot allow Russia to be active there only, because they’re bombing us, they are shelling us, they are sending missiles, helicopters, jet fighters — a lot of things,” Zelensky said. “We don’t control our sky.”
He also commented on President Joe Biden having the capability to do more to stop the war. “I am sure he can and I would like to believe that. He is capable of doing that,” Zelensky said.
He also put out a warning for the rest of the world.
“Everyone thinks that we are far away from America or Canada. No, we are in this zone of freedom. And when the limits of rights and freedoms are being violated and stepped on, then you have to protect us. Because we will come first. You will come second. Because the more this beast will eat, he wants more, more, and more.”
Russia has proposed a cease-fire beginning March 8, 10 am Moscow time. The cease-fire will occur in Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Mariupol. This is to give way to humanitarian corridors.
“Russia declares a ceasefire from 10 a.m. (Moscow time) on March 8, and is ready to provide humanitarian corridors: from Kyiv and adjacent settlements to the Russian Federation through the territory of the Republic of Belarus to Gomel,” Russian media quotes the statement.
The Russian statement added that evacuation corridors “will also be open from Chernihiv through the territory of Belarus, from the city of Sumy along two routes to Poltava and to the territory of Russia, from Kharkiv to the territory of Russia or to Lviv, Uzhgorod, Ivano-Frankivsk. Also, a humanitarian corridor will be opened from Mariupol along the two routes to the territory of Russia and Zaporizhie.”
Ukraine has not yet agreed on the cease-fire.
