As hundreds of Russian tanks and missiles lay siege to the cities of Kharkiv, Kyiv and Mariupol, millions of Ukrainian civilians are facing a desperate plight. Women and children are running out of food and water, living in unsanitary conditions on subway platforms and in air-raid shelters, praying for relief. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy continues to plead for NATO to create a no-fly zone, to provide humanitarian corridors that can help supply the civilians now under bombardment.
Now that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invaders are deliberately bombing civilian targets, including children’s centers, theaters and a maternity hospital in Mariupol, how long can NATO and the United States afford to remain on the sidelines?
