He made a compelling personal argument for help that Canada feels it cannot give \u2014 a no-fly zone over his country, which might stop the Russian government from bombing his cities, murdering Ukrainian children.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Zelensky keeps driving home the point that his people are just like anyone else\u2019s people, and they desperately need more help to save their nation and their own lives. And other countries keep responding\u2014sincerely\u2014that their hearts are breaking for Ukraine\u2019s dead children and obliterated cities, but they simply can\u2019t close the skies without risking global annihilation. The exchange rate on that calculation at this moment is the decimation of a single country that\u00a0is begging the world in real time not to look away.<\/p>\n<p>Enforcing a closure of Ukrainian airspace could very possibly lead to nuclear war, and for NATO, it is a non-starter. Closing that airspace may be the only way to save the lives of tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilians and preserve the sovereignty of their country. Those facts do not refute each other; they only click together like agonizing puzzle pieces.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>An unanswerable ask: Don Martin<\/strong>, writing for CTV, has <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ctvnews.ca\/politics\/don-martin-the-tragic-but-necessary-rejection-of-zelensky-s-big-ask-from-canada-1.5820207\">a similar perspective<\/a> on the speech.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Hundreds of his soldiers and civilians are dying daily from incoming Russian missiles and bombs streaking across an open sky which could be closed with the help of fighter jets from Ukraine\u2019s allies like Canada. \u201cWhat I\u2019m trying to say is you all need to do more to stop Russia, to protect Ukraine and protect all over Europe. We\u2019re not asking for much, we\u2019re asking for justice, we\u2019re asking for real support,\u201d he said. In other words, it\u2019s great you stand with us, but it\u2019s time to fly with us.
