This is not merely a tragedy for Ukraine, Zelensky pointed out: It\u2019s a catastrophe for Europe, the worst since World War II. <\/p>\n<p>Russia did not merely assault Ukraine militarily but \u201cthrew tanks and planes against [its] freedom.\u201d<strong> <\/strong>The war is an offensive against \u201cbasic human values.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Correct. Unchecked Russian aggression in Ukraine is, put simply, an attack on Western sovereignty and the basic tenets of our civilization. For proof, look no further than the civilians on a bread line in Chernihiv killed by Russian shelling.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Giving terrible impact to Zelensky\u2019s words, a heart-rending video showed the human toll of Russian attacks: the dead, the mutilated, weeping children, refugees boarding trains, families broken apart.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Zelensky\u2019s invoking of Pearl Harbor and 9\/11 reinforced his pleas for aid. While expressing his gratitude for the help sent so far, he reiterated calls for a no-fly zone and, failing that, defense systems and aircraft, as well as ever-harsher sanctions on the aggressor. <\/p>\n<p>His cause, civilization\u2019s cause, deserves that support and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Zelensky\u2019s call for a no-fly zone makes strategic sense given his situation. But \u2014 as he pointed out \u2014 more forceful US involvement doesn\u2019t mean a no-fly zone or nothing. We can deliver lethal assistance to Ukraine in many ways and help end the air assault without one. <\/p>\n<p>The president can start by giving the US\u2019 blessing to aircraft transfers from Poland \u2014 and any other willing country. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday saw <em>some<\/em> good <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> on that front. The US and its NATO partners are reportedly already sending Soviet-era air defense systems to Ukraine, missiles with an altitude range high enough to take out Russian cruise missiles. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/ukraine-biden-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"President Biden speaks shortly after Ukrainian President Volodmyr Zelensky virtually addressed U.S, Congress.\" class=\"wp-image-21546528\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/ukraine-biden-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/ukraine-biden-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/ukraine-biden-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>President Biden speaks shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky virtually addressed the US Congress.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Reuters<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The clear next step is to send Ukraine S-300s, anti-air systems that can hit high-flying Russian planes, by any means necessary as quickly as possible. Rush the transfer of cutting-edge Switchblade drones, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Then there are the numerous (and deniable) cyber efforts against Russian logistics and communications that the US has the tech to unleash. <\/p>\n<p>Biden also needs to stop saying what he <em>won\u2019t<\/em> do and set clear red lines <em>now<\/em> as a deterrent to Putin with specific <em>minimum<\/em> consequences for actions such as deliberately targeting civilians, the use of thermobaric, biological or chemical weapons or military advances that <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach NATO states too closely. <\/p>\n<p>Absent such red lines, the Russian strongman will see a clear signal to continue his bloody aggression with no fears of real reprisal. (And these lines need to be as hard as they are clear: Recall the Syrian disasters that unfolded after Barack Obama\u2019s red-line retreat.)<\/p>\n<p>Zelensky finished in English, addressing Biden directly. \u201cIt\u2019s not enough,\u201d he said, \u201cto be the leader of your nation.
