Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky can be expected to call out the U.S. Wednesday when he addresses Congress virtually — as he did with the Canadian parliament, and as he has done with the world.

Why it matters: Three weeks into Russia’s invasion, Zelensky has invoked Winston Churchill, Hamlet, Canadian cultural landmarks and his own demise as he’s made deeply emotional appeals to Western leaders and lawmakers.

In Ottawa on Tuesday, Zelensky made it first-name personal as he asked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and lawmakers for help enacting a no-fly zone over Ukraine.

“Justin, can you imagine you and your children hearing all these severe explosions, the bombing of the airport, the bombing of the Ottawa airport?” Zelensky asked. “Cruise missiles are falling down and your children are asking you: ‘What happened?'”
