Defiant Volodymyr Zelenskyy vows to fight ‘beast’ Putin and warns NATO Russian tyrant will want ‘more’ if Ukraine falls

UKRAINIAN President Volodymyr Zelenskyy vowed in a video message to fight Vladimir Putin, warning that the Russian President will want “more” if Ukraine falls. Zelenskyy repeated his plea for the US and other countries to clear the way for Soviet-era fighter aircraft for his military and to enforce a no-fly zone over the country.  Volodymyr Zelenskyy/InstagramIn an exclusive interview with David Muir, Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Russia will want ‘more’ if Ukraine falls[/caption] In an exclusive interview with ABC News, Zelenskyy said via a government interpreter that Ukraine lacks air supremacy and that he shared this information with President Joe Biden during a phone call Monday. Biden and other world leaders said that creating a no-fly zone would require allies to shoot down Russian planes, but Zelenskyy expressed that Russian missiles are striking civilian infrastructure. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization has rejected requests for the no-fly zone, saying that a war with Russia would be at risk. Zelenskyy warns that Putin won’t stop at Ukraine and would threaten other democratic countries. “We are a place in Europe, a place of freedom, a zone of freedom,” he said. “When the limits of rights and freedoms are being violated and stepped on, then you have to protect us. Because we will come first, you will come second.” Despite being offered safe passage out of Ukraine, Zelenskyy has said that he would remain as he is the democratically elected leader of the country.
