Nations must act now before it is ‘too late’

Ukraine's president has told Sky News that his country cannot stop the war against Russia on its own and that millions could die if the world does not act now to stop the bombing

Speaking to Sky News' @AlexCrawfordSky inside the leader's office in Ukraine's capital city, Volodymyr Zelenskyy reiterated his call for the West to impose a no-fly zone
He accused countries of being indecisive on the issue of "closing" the skies against what he called "the Nazis" and said of Western nations: "You can't decide to close or not to close... you can't decide.

"If you are united against the Nazis and this terror, you have to close."

Sky’s @AlexCrawfordSky is in the village of Qala-e-Charkh in Afghanistan, where desperation and poverty has pushed more and more families to sell their young girls into early arranged marriages.
The children here are at the forefront of Afghanistan's humanitarian crisis. Their village is at the centre of one of the poorest districts, where up to 95% of people are in need of food or monetary assistance.
