Estonia is the first NATO member nation to have a body formally call for the implementation of a no-fly zone amid Russia’s ongoing invasion.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been pleading with the United States and western allies to implement a no-fly zone over Ukraine.
But President Joe Biden and NATO have ruled that out, saying that enforcing it would put the U.S. and NATO in direct confrontation with Russia and would expand the conflict.

A senior U.S. defense official said Monday that almost all of the Russian military’s advances in Ukraine remain stalled.
As it stands, Russian troops are about 9 miles outside of Ukraine’s capital of Kyiv and it is believed they are trying to create a defensive line from the cities of Kharkiv to Mariupol, the official added, according to Fox News’ Jennifer Griffin.

Estonia’s parliament on Monday is calling for the creation of a no-fly zone in Ukraine as Russian attacks continue throughout the country.
“The Riigikogu asks the U.N. member states to take immediate steps to establish a no-fly zone in order to prevent massive civilian casualties in Ukraine,” it said in a statement.
U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres, when asked earlier for the United Nations’ stance regarding the implementation of a no-fly zone, said it “is a matter that as you know has been analyzed by a number of countries that considered that possibility as a risk of escalation that could create a global conflict.”
“It is based on that analysis that I think we need to be prudent — even if I understand the dramatic appeal of the Ukrainian government,” he added.
The White House is leaning on that position from the military in its opposition to providing the jets, including that Ukraine does not really need the aircraft. But Biden already ceded to pressure from Congress to take a tougher stance against Russia multiple times since the war started. And dozens more members from both parties Sunday called on the president to help Ukraine get its hands on the Polish fighter jets President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is petitioning for.
“We, the 58 members of the Problem Solvers Caucus, urge continued U.S. commitment to the sovereignty of Ukraine and the freedom of the Ukrainian people in the face of Russia’s ongoing invasion,” the moderate, bipartisan House Problem Solvers Caucus (PSC) said Sunday. “We strongly believe that the U.S. must provide additional defense materiel to Ukrainians protecting their nation.”
The PSC went on to call on Biden to help give the Ukrainians Stinger missiles, drones and Soviet-era MiG-29 fighter jets that Poland is offering to send to Ukraine.

Russia tests NATO boundaries with attack near Poland
America’s Newsroom’ host Bill Hemmer provides updates on Russia’s military actions in Ukraine.
Polish Foreign Minister and Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Chairman-in-Office Zbigniew Rau told the U.N. Security Council Monday that Russia’s military activity in Ukraine amounts to “state terrorism”.
“This operation — poorly prepared and executed — turned out to be a strategic and tactical failure. But instead of preventing further unnecessary deaths in its own ranks, the Kremlin changed its tactics,” he said.
“The invading force started to target the civilian population and infrastructure in an attempt to break the spirit of the Ukrainian people. This is deplorable and shameful and amounts to state terrorism, “Rau continued. “Schools, hospitals and kindergartens are deliberately being targeted with internationally-banned weapons. The reports of women and children killed are devastating.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will deliver a speech to Congress virtually on Wednesday morning, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement.
“The Congress, our country and the world are in awe of the people of Ukraine, who have shown extraordinary courage, resilience and determination in the face of Russia’s unprovoked, vicious, and illegal war,” the joint statement read.
“As war rages on in Ukraine, it is with great respect and admiration for the Ukrainian people that we invite all Members of the House and Senate to attend a Virtual Address to the United States Congress delivered by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine on Wednesday, March 16th at 9:00 a.m,” it added.
