Via video technology, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the United States Congress, demanding that he impose further sanctions on Russia and provide military assistance to Kiev, which has been fighting a war with Moscow for 3 weeks.

He added: "Russia has transformed the skies of Ukraine into a source of death for thousands of people."

Zelensky called on members of the United States Congress to help protect the airspace over Ukraine by imposing an air embargo.

He called for more sanctions against Russia, including the withdrawal of all American companies from Russian territory.
