On Monday, the White House said Biden remains firm in his commitment to keep US troops out of the conflict. The US stance: The US and NATO oppose creating a no-fly zone in Ukraine, warning that such a move could lead to "full-fledged war in Europe." Russian President Vladimir Putin said Saturday countries imposing such a no-fly zone would be considered to be participating in the conflict. He is capable of doing that," Zelensky said.
"I am sure he can and I would like to believe that. He added that he believes US President Joe Biden "can do more" to stop the war.
"We cannot allow Russia to be active there only, because they're bombing us, they are shelling us, they are sending missiles, helicopters, jet fighters - a lot of things," Zelensky said. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Western countries that the war will not stop at Ukraine - and an attack on freedoms there will affect the rest of the world.ĭuring an interview on ABC World News Tonight with David Muir on Monday, Zelensky again highlighted the need to secure Ukraine's airspace - something he has urged the US and NATO to help do, to no avail.
The hotline, called "Come Back From Ukraine Alive," was established by the Ukrainian Interior Ministry, which has acknowledged that the initiative is both a humanitarian and a propaganda tool. Videos have appeared online since the invasion began on February 24 showing Ukrainian civilians and soldiers allowing Russian soldiers to call home and speak with their parents. The recordings indicate that many Russian soldiers seemed to not have known what their plans were or why they were being deployed, and bolster reports of Russian soldiers being denied communication with their families. In recordings shared exclusively with CNN by the Ukrainian officials operating the hotline, the desperation and uncertainty in the callers' voices sheds light on how tightly Moscow is controlling communications about the war. The shaky voices at the end of the line are not calling to search for Ukrainians, however - they are looking for information on Russian soldiers. Mothers and fathers, wives, siblings and others are engaged in a desperate search for their loved ones as Russia's war with Ukraine extends seemingly without end. These are excerpts from audio recordings made to a Ukrainian government-run hotline. "Hello hotline, is this the place that you can find out if a person is alive?" "Do you have any information about my husband?" "Excuse me for disturbing you, I'm calling regarding my brother."
