⚡️Zelensky: Close the sky or give us aircraft.
While speaking with media, President Zelensky called on NATO to close the sky over Ukraine. He asked how many more Ukrainians have to be injured for this decision to be made. If it can't be made, "give us planes,” he said.
Ukraine says it will give Russian soldiers taken prisoner back to their mothers, literally.
Russian mothers need to make it to the Ukrainian border -- and they will meet their sons in Kyiv.

⚡️Zelensky addresses Ukrainians:
I admire each of you. The whole world admires you - from Hollywood stars to politicians.
Today you, Ukrainians, are the symbol of invincibility. The symbol that people in any country can become the best people on earth at any moment.
“To be honest, it was a total disappointment.” - Oleksandra Ustinova, a member of the Ukrainian Parliament, on President Biden’s State of the Union address
