In a speech to the Canadian parliament, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for the leaders to imagine a similar situation in their country, and asked for “more to stop Russia.”

The comedian who became a leader, in an era where most leaders act like comedians.

As a Canadian, I will never understand the pain and suffering of Ukrainians because we live in such a peaceful environment. I believe however that we need to stand strong with them to stop the aggression from Russia or any other threats to the democratic countries. Or else, today's Ukraine will be tomorrow's

I can't believe how the "free world" is just sitting by and watching a democratic nation being desecrated for no reason at all. Speeches and fancy words are not stopping the needless death and destruction. For years the U.S. spent billions of dollars trying to make middle east countries democratic only to see the kept armies drop their arms in fear. Now we have a nation of people who are willing to fight but ironically are receiving no where near the help they should be getting. It is truly painful seeing what is happening.

I m Russian, and I m crying now seeing what is done by Putin to Ukraine. Zelensky is the hero. God help us !

This wonderful man. Begging for decency and empathy and courage. We cannot fail him.
Must feel awful to clearly lay out his case over and over again and get a tepid response. While his people are being slaughtered.

Mr. Zelensky you are a brave and strong man to have this happen to you and your people. Canadians are standing strong with you and all Ukrainians 🙏😔💔🇺🇦

This happened at the start of WWII. At the end, when the extent of the atrocities committed against Jewish people were witnessed and photographed, Winston Churchill said, "(things like this) happen when the good people of the world do nothing!" Our leaders and all world leaders need to show us that the lessons learned from WWII have been learned and understood!

Canada has been supporting the Ukrainian forces since 2014, in training them on defense. Unfortunately we can't go against NATO and impose a no fly zone even if we wanted to, I don't blame him for mentioning it but I can see he didn't spend much time on it cause he knows we aren't the strongest power in NATO. I am sure he will spend more time addressing that when he speaks to the US Congress. I think the biggest impact Canada could have now is working with European countries on energy supply, so they can cut their dependence on Russian resources. Of course we'll continue with the aid we've been providing, but outside of actually going to war against Russia that's probably one of the biggest impacts we can make at this point.

What really struck home was the President Zelinskyy analogy of naming Canadian cities and targets.
✌️🇨🇦❤️🇺🇦

This truly breaks my heart.
He and his people must feel abandoned by their supposed friends

[spinozareader]

We stand with Ukraine. You are a remarkable, decent man; a true hero. I will do my part (donate money to any charity assisting in your country. And the increase in the price of a gallon of gas in my country?...I will pay that. Any thing to unite against Putin.

[kateadams]

I think he's right. As Canadians, we take our safe lives for granted. I couldn't imagine someone bombing Toronto or Vancouver. Canada has the largest population of Ukrainians outside of Russia and the Ukraine. They've contributed so much to Canada and our culture.

[roselandebazelais]

I admire this man.It's a good thing he is President of his country in time like this.

[joanneholmes]

This is heartbreaking to see .. in Real Time.
I Stand with Ukraine.
✌🏼💙💛🌻

This is heartbreaking on so many levels. Strength to Ukrainian people. My condolences to the lost soul. I hope Putin is held for war crimes and punished as severely as possible.

[shieh.]

🇨🇦❤🇺🇦 Our Ukrainian family is important to us. What is happening to you hurts us and I call on our leaders to do everything we need to do to help. Not just the humanitarian needs (very important), but to fight back against totalitarianism and evil.

Zelensky: Please close the sky
World: So sorry about your situation, hang in there

[BlackNightJack]

How many more?? Holy Mary Mother of God. Give them all the support they need. If it creates international conflict with Russia to close the skies, so be it. Doing whatever it takes has never been more right. Because here, right matters.
