Ukrainian President complained that the US and other countries waited too long to respond to Russia’s invasion of his country - calling sanctions a “good start,” but saying only a no-fly zone would stop the slaughter.

“The whole world started making decisions too late. I want to thank the countries that are helping with weapons. We are thankful, but it’s too late”, - Volodymyr Zelenksy said in a televised address.

He applauded Western nations for moving to punish Russia by hobbling its economy, saying, “strong sanctions right now, I think that was a good start”: “Thank God, now we have those sanctions”.

But President said he’d pleaded with Joe Biden and European leaders to impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine to stop what he called Russia’s “constant bombing of non-militarized zones”.

“I said: If you cannot shut the sky now, then give us a timeline. When will you do it? If you can’t provide a timeline now, tell us how many people have to die. How many limbs have to fly off of people’s bodies, so you hear us? How many people will count, and we’ll wait until that moment when you feel comfortable”, - he said.

Zelensky also warned that Vladimir Putin would wage an even wider war “if Ukraine does not stop all of this; if the world does not unite around the principles of Ukraine”.

“After Ukraine - if we don’t exist, God forbid - then it will be Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Moldova, Georgia, Poland. And they will keep going on until the Berlin Wall. They will continue”, - said the Ukrainian leader.
