Zelensky tears into 'weak' NATO for ruling out 'no-fly' zone.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused NATO leadership of giving the "green light for further bombing of Ukrainian cities" by refusing at Friday's summit to establish a "no-fly" zone over Ukraine, saying those who oppose the move bear responsibility for civilian deaths going forward.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said the topic of a no-fly zone was "mentioned" at Friday's summit, but that the allies once again agreed there should not be NATO aircraft operating over Ukraine's territory.Zelensky began his latest video praising the Ukrainian people for their incredible resistance on the ninth day of Russia's brutal assault, saying "the history of Europe will remember it forever.
"The NATO summit took place today — weak summit, confused summit, summit which shows that not everyone considers the struggle for freedom to be Europe's No. 1 goal."of turning a blind eye to atrocities while having intelligence on Russia's intent to destroy Ukraine, Zelensky called the "narrative" that a no-fly zone would provoke Russia's direct aggression "self-hypnosis of those who are weak, under-confident inside.
