Kyiv March 3 2022: Ukraine’s President Zelensky has given a news conference – where he appealed to the West to send him warplanes.
“If you do not have the power to close the skies [enforce a no-fly zone over Ukraine], then give me planes,” he said.
“If we are no more then, God forbid, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia will be next.”
Those countries are part of the Nato defence alliance, which means if Russia invaded one it would be at war with all members.
We’ll have more lines from Zelensky soon.
