s here, but there are hundreds of folks here, and they are from all over the country, all over the world, many with connections to ukraine. they say they really do need the u.s. government, president biden's support in this. they said as you mentioned, they want a diplomatic solution to this crisis. they need humanitarian assistance, but if that doesn't work out, they want a no-fly zone. that's been a point of contention for the biden administration, but the hope and resiliency has persisted here. we have heard it from a number of speakers throughout the afternoon. here's what some folks had to say. >> do you hope to go back to ukraine when this war is over? >> caller: yes, of course. >> we want to live in ukraine. without a doubt. >> you have said you have family and friends over there in kyiv. >> they're still there. some of them have moved to the west. some are still back home. hiding. it's devastating. it's scary. sirens on all day.
