| When Russia's military first rolled across its border with Ukraine almost a month ago, many feared for the latter country's existence. Instead, "Ukraine's resistance against Russia's horrific invasion has exceeded every outside prediction," writes Andriy Yermak, the head of the presidential office for President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. "However, given Russian President Vladimir Putin's clear intention to ramp up the bloodshed, Ukraine still needs more," Yermak writes. "Just as many erroneously predicted that Ukraine would fall within 72 hours, many failed to predict the mass atrocities the Russian troops would commit despite their long history of absolute disregard for life, and lust for blood and destruction." The best solution, Yermak argues, is "a no-fly zone to protect humanitarian corridors," just as the United States and its allies instituted in several conflicts in recent decades. Failing that, "then we plead for the proper weapons so we can do it ourselves. If not, the loss of people, infrastructure, businesses, and our historic landmarks and monuments will be on the West's collective conscience."
