Urgent appeal by President Zelenskyy: eight missiles hit the Vinnytsia airport; it is completely destroyed.
The President called on the world to close the skies over Ukraine and provide Ukraine with aircraft.
"Close the sky over Ukraine! (...) Close from all those terrorists. Make a humanitarian zone! We are people! And it is your duty to protect people! And you can do it! If you do not do this and do not give us at least aircraft so that we can protect ourselves one conclusion can be made: you also want us to be killed very slowly. It is also the responsibility of world politicians, Western leaders, from today and forever, " said Zelenskyy.

humanitarian aid soon.

for Ukraine. Even here in Ireland, I passed a food appeal with a line of cars dropping off.

to bring in troops and supplies for the attack on/occupation of Kiev?
If they've destroyed it does that mean they've given up on trying to take it?
As for a no-fly zone--would it be possible to hack or otherwise disable Russian air traffic control, making it impossible to coordinate or perhaps even fly over Ukraine?
CIA, NSA, independent hackers out there, if you're listening...
