Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky is urging President Biden and NATO to impose a "no-fly zone" over "significant parts" of the country, telling Axios in a statement that Ukraine "can beat the aggressor" if the Western allies "do their part." -Axios.

That said, CNN anchor, Jim Sciutto warns:

“Folks backing this need to acknowledge how this would put US/NATO aircraft head-to-head with Russian aircraft and air defense systems. Chance of escalation is real and chance of US/NATO losses as well. This is not Serbia or Iraq.”
