He said this in his video address.

"The world has the power to close our skies for Russian missiles, Russian warplanes, helicopters. If anyone still doubts, Ukraine needs planes. In fact, it's just when you have the will. To make the sky safe - the sky of Ukraine, the sky of Europe." , - the president noted.

He added that he had talked to the Prime Minister of Australia.

"I am grateful to Australians for their moral stance on Russian exports. There should be no port where a terrorist state can make money," Zelensky said.

According to him, the prime ministers of Albania, Bulgaria and Israel support Ukraine.

"An inspiring conversation with Elon Musk - with a man who makes rockets for the future, not kills rockets for the past. We talked about how to win now, how we will work later, after the victory," he added.

According to Zelensky, Ukraine's support from global business leaders, the most advanced companies, is no less important than support from the world's leading countries.

"When the corporate world is not afraid of you, you have double protection," he concluded.

It will be recalled that on March 1, US President Joe Biden did not support Volodymyr Zelensky's request to declare an unmanned zone over Ukraine.

On March 4, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi complained about the NATO summit, which decided not to build an unmanned zone over Ukraine.

On March 5, Kuleba called on NATO to be confident and strong and to close the skies over Ukraine.
