On Wednesday Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the U.S. Congress, urging American politicians to do more to protect his country from Russia's military actions. He backed up his plea with an emotive video.

The video, a little over two minutes long, compared his country before and after Russian forces moved in last month, edited to underline the human, material and cultural cost.

Take a look and see what was in the video to see how Zelenskyy framed his argument.

It ended with the message "close the sky over Ukraine," a plea for a no-fly zone he repeated in his speech, but which NATO has consistently said it won't implement in order to avoid further escalation.
