President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has said that 74% of Americans support the introduction of a no-fly zone over Ukraine and asked what else is needed to make this decision.

In a video message posted on his Telegram channel on Saturday, he expressed his gratitude to "Americans - a staunch bipartisan majority of ordinary people." "We saw the poll. We saw the opinion of ordinary people of America supporting ordinary people of Ukraine, demanding tougher sanctions against Russia for aggression now, supporting the closing of the sky now to save the lives of our people. 74 percent of Americans are in favor of the no-fly zone. 74! It is absolute majority. What else is needed to make the decision?" he said.

Zelensky expressed confidence in the similar result in other democratic countries.

According to him, the Armed Forces of Ukraine bravely hold all the key areas of our defense. "They are holding the fort of Mykolaiv, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Donbas. We are inflicting such losses on the occupiers that they have never seen in their worst dreams. The Russian army did not reach the planned lines. But it turned out almost 10,000 = dead Russian soldiers. 10,000! It's horrible! Guys aged 18, 20. Completely young, almost children. Soldiers who were not even able to explain what they are going to fight for? For what and why are they in a foreign land. 10,000. Russia could definitely give these people something other than death," the president said.

A total of 74% of Americans believe the United States and its NATO allies should implement the no-fly zone in Ukraine, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.
