'You have to protect us': Zelensky calls for air support from West as Russian siege continues

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky continued to plead for Western assistance against Russian airstrikes Tuesday — a day after he warned that there could be dire consequences for the rest of the world if it doesn’t support the country’s fight for freedom.

“While Russians are to blame for the killings, responsibility is shared by those who for 13 days in their Western offices haven’t been able to approve an obviously necessary decision, who didn’t save our cities from these bombs and missiles — although they can,” Zelensky said.

In an interview with ABC’s David Muir on Monday night, Zelensky said Western protection of Ukraine was in democratic nations’ self-interest.

“Everyone thinks that we are far away from America or Canada,” he said. “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.”

For all the years that I have been a member of this site, I never would have thought that I would actually have to defend a country that is under invasion by Russia, a country that is getting the shit bombed out of it, against attacking FReepers who actually are supporting Russia............

It's a crazy world we are living in and this site is getting more intolerable..........

Oh, you miss the point. These are two bent socialist countries and just because Putin wants their coal and gas and is willing to kill them for it doesn’t make it our problem.

“ You either support it or condemn it and tell me why?”

Neither. Not my country, or my people. No treaty obligations.
Both sides have a free hand to slug it out.

Many Ukrainians are seeing this as an opportunity to go to a “more prosperous” country and begin a new life there.

Zelensky doesn’t yet realize that muchof his population leaving will not be going back to a worm torn counry, nor one that will ever have the peace and prosperity they desire. They’re done with Zelensky and his kind making empty promises.
