1. Why Ukraine requests the "no fly zone"
Losing the war against Ukrainian army russian terrorists revenge on the civilians shelling the biggest, most populated cities of Ukraine relentlessly, targeting residential areas and critical infrastructure, leading to deaths of hundreds (nearly 2000 civilians were already killed) and humanitarian crisis. Intentionally killing civilians is a war crime! Unfortunately Ukrainian army lacks resources to shelter all the cities from air. That is why Ukrainian people are desperately asking the West for a no-fly zone and to protect their sky.
"Ukrainian women and Ukrainian children are in deep fear because of bombs and missiles which are coming from the sky," says Daria Kaleniuk to the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson at a news conference on Tuesday.
