resolve of churchill kept his country men strong, 82 years later, volodymyr zelenskyy is called churchhillhe reality of zelenskyy. >> it is a good comparison, between him and churchhill. you see he since volved in the war effort. it inspires people to also rise to the challenge. and do what they can even in the darkist hour, zelenskyy projected this imagine that we're not giving up, we'll fight this. and we're going to prevail. >> if you want to be -- churchillian you have to win. that is going to be a huge challenge. too early to talk about zelenskyy and churchhillian terms, we don't know where it will end up. >> he has delivered powerful speeches across the world, trying to get an understanding from them what the fight is about, he painted it as a fight between good and evil. >> they have been inspiring to extent they have galvanized public union in the west to lean toward providing ukraine with as much help as zelenskyy needs. >> to have the leader demonstrate defiance and courage is huge positive. it is all more likely that in the, ukraine will prevail. >> average citizen thinks that z

as he was getting this amazing standing ovation for really a churchhill-like speech, all of sudden felthit again and the market rallied big time. you know, whether anything will happen near term, isn't it, how much do you think this market would rally if there was some sort of near-term conclusion to what is happening with russia? >> i do think the market would have a good deal of upside. it is heart to predict how much but certainly there is a lot of fear priced in. it is hard how to figure out how we'll get to a reasonable solution on the other side so i in sign of hope i would think us give us a nice lift. charles: one part you do have the hope, the humanitarian aspect of this. whatever kind of tenuous peace there would be but obviously the sanctions are not going anywhere. these kepts that left, they will not go back in. interesting to see the first company going back into russia. maybe mcdonald's since they were the last to come it. there are parts of mark intriguing. russell is up 1%. your team is looking and you like the small caps right now. >> we do. generally speaking the smal

it was as close to churchhill as we've gotten in the 21st century, neil.oughout this has been a, you know, a variable all unto itself in this fight for ukraine's national survival. zelenskyy's leadership, you can't overstate how important it's been to maintaining the will of the american people, the ukrainian people, which is now clearly the center of gravity of this fight. it is not just the ukrainian military, it is this nation of more than 40 million people that is refusing to surrender, that is determined to fight to the end against vladmir putin and this russian war machine. quite extraordinary. neil: now this came at a time the uk announced like the united states it is going to ban all russian oil. it will take them longer to do that than ourselves but they have. they're the only european country who has, i'm not disparaging other european countries that depend on that a lot more than we do but i'm wondering what you made of vladmir putin's response? that he might just cut off that oil and gas on his own to make them suffer, what do you think? >> yea

that was similar to churchhill's goal in 1994. >> churchill was trying to persuade united states forwo years. they were divided between isolationists and especially in congress. they weren't going to get into the war unless they were thrust in the war. reporter: they are getting more from congress in the next few weeks but it is unclear whether they get the migs they requested. neil? neil: thank you, chad pergram. the president will address president zelenskyy and his remarks to congress today, talk of more aid, it should be coming any minute. we're told his position on a no-fly zone has not altered one bit. he fears that is a step too far. it could lead to world war iii. echoed by many white house officials, many on capitol hill. no matter the appeal on the part of president zelenskyy he is not expected to budge on that but stranger things have happened. let's go to edward lawrence at the white house with more. edward. reporter: neil, the no-fly zone, also those mig jets, that is also a sticking point still here at the white house. they're pointing back to that assessment that was d

later, president volodymyr zelenskyy is a winston churchhill like figure, inspiring from the front, his i don't need a ride, i need ammo, was brilliant on so many levels. it inspired ukraine, inspired the world, it inspired americans, it made us think of ukraine as texas and mariupol as the alamo. i speak with many of my retired colleagues on a daily basis as one of my closest friends told me recently, we are all ukrainians now and we want to be with them. very powerful words. >> mark, what else do we need to be doing? >> so, you know, first of all, just in -- my phone blows up every day because there's this moral clarity on this crisis we didn't have. i spent almost two years in iraq and afghanistan, iraq we went in under the false premise of wmd and then in terms of afghanistan, i was there twice, once for a year running a base on the east and, you know, it was certainly justifiable, but in the end we stayed too long. that was -- there was a lot of ambiguity, friends killed, indigenous partners killed. we have this moral clarity and we want to win. i think that's extraordinary. i used
