Ukraine’s president invoked the horror of the 2001 terror attacks on the US as he pleaded for more military aid in a historic address to the US Congress.
Volodymyr Zelensky said via video link that Ukraine was enduring a 9/11 every day as it battled Russian forces.
He again urged the US and Nato allies to enforce a no-fly zone over Ukraine, saying: “I need to protect the sky.”
President Biden is later set to sign off an extra $800m (£612m) in military aid to Ukraine.
