Ukraine's Zelenskyy makes plea to US for more help, and Biden immediately authorises 'unprecedented' new weapons aid including: 100 drones 800 Stingers 9,000 anti-tank weapons 7,000 light weapons 20M rounds of ammunition Possibly S-300 missile systems
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy delivers a virtual address to US Congress by video at the Capitol in Washington on March 16, 2022.
Bearded and dressed in a military green T-shirt, the Ukrainian leader invoked September 11 and Pearl Harbor as he pleaded again for a Western-enforced no-fly zone to bar Russian warplanes, something Biden has rejected as almost certainly leading to what he says would be "World War III." But in a nod to Western concerns, Zelenskyy added that an alternative to the no-fly zone would be more powerful weapons to allow Ukrainians to defend themselves.
Ukraine has already been given hundreds of Stingers, which can shoot down relatively low flying aircraft. The drones mentioned by Biden are a US weapon called Switchblade, which has the ability to loiter over a target, before plunging down like a bomb, the military source said.Biden also ramped up the rhetorical offensive against the Kremlin, telling reporters for the first time that Putin "is a war criminal." Putin's spokesman called this "unacceptable and unforgivable."
