MSNBC's Ali Velshi on Saturday called for "direct military involvement" in Ukraine from NATO and the west in light of harrowing new images providing the world a glimpse into Russia's brutality on Ukrainian civilians.
Velshi, who is reporting from Ukraine, called on NATO and the west to take immediate action in a series of tweets over the weekend.
"The turning point for the west and NATO will come when the sun rises over Kyiv on Sunday, & the war crimes against civilian non-combatants becomes visible to all," Velshi wrote. "There is no more time for prevarication. If ‘never again’ means anything, then this is the time to act."
When asked by journalist Aaron Maté to clarify what exactly he was calling for, Velshi said pointedly, "direct military involvement."
