the west rejected ukrainian president zelenskyy's pleas to establish a no fly zone due to fears it could lead to world war iii and a deal that would provide fighter jets to ukraine is unlikely to happen. the u.s. and poland were in talks of providing the jets but there is little momentum for the deal tonight. meanwhile, a white house spokesperson said the u.s. is collecting evidence of possible russian war crimes and countries are considering sanctions on an already cratering russian economy. the u.s. is in active talks with europe to ban russian oil imports, however, the world's biggest buyer of russian crude oil germany rejected that plan and putin for his part claimed sanctions are a kin to a decoloration, to war.
