Invokes 9/11 While Asking Congress for Help

During his speech to Congress asking for a no-fly zone, Zelenskyy invoked images from the 9/11 terror attacks and Pearl Harbor.

“Our country experiences the same thing right now, every day.” He asked for planes and further defense systems.

“Ladies and gentlemen, friends, Americans, in your great history, you have pages that would allow you to understand Ukrainians understand us right now, when we need you right now,” he said. “Remember Pearl Harbor, terrible morning of December 7, 1941, when your sky was black from the plains attacking you. Just remember it.”

“Yes, just like no one else expected. You could not stop it. Our country experienced the same every day,” Zelenskyy said. “Right now at this moment, every night for three weeks now, various Ukrainian cities, Odessa and Kakutani, have been so many predominantly of Mariupol.”
