While a no-fly zone would amount to direct American conflict with Russia, which has been ruled out by many elected officials, a few lawmakers issued social media messages in support of either supplying aircraft or even ending the purchase of Russian oil.<\/p>\n<p>FULL TRANSCRIPT:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Thank you for everything you\u2019ve done.
