The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, accuses NATO of the decision not to introduce a ‘no fly zone’ on the country, engaged in the war with Russia after the invasion ordered 10 days ago by Vladimir Putin. “NATO has deliberately decided not to ‘cover’ the skies over Ukraine,” says Zelensky, as CNN points out, in a video message posted on Facebook late in the evening of Friday 4 March.
“We believe that NATO countries have created a narrative that closing the skies over Ukraine would result in Russia’s direct aggression against NATO,” says Zelensky. “This is a self-hypnosis of those who are weak, internally insecure despite having much more powerful weapons than we have”, the words of the president of Ukraine.
NATO, according to Zelensky, “refusing to introduce the no fly zone has given the green light for more bombings on cities and villages in Ukraine. You could have done it! It was a weak, confused summit, which shows that not everyone views the struggle. for freedom a primary objective of Europe. For 9 days we saw a very hard war: our cities destroyed, people bombed. Our children, neighborhoods, churches, schools … Everything that was destroyed was destroyed. serves for a normal life “.
“All the people who will die from now on – he continues – will also die because of you, for your weakness and lack of unity. I am grateful to the friends of our country, in NATO there are many friendly nations who help us. “Above all, the belief that Ukraine will triumph:” From the first day of the invasion, I am sure of victory. We do not feel alone, we will continue to fight, we will defend our country and we will free our land “.
NATO on Friday reiterated its position in relation to the conflict. “The allies have agreed not to have NATO aircraft in Ukraine’s airspace or NATO troops on its territory,” said NATO Secretary General Jen Stoltenberg, reiterating the Alliance’s no to no fly zone and stressing that the the only way to implement a no-fly zone over Ukraine would be to fly NATO planes ready to open fire on Russian planes. “It is a painful decision”, Stoltenberg acknowledged, answering journalists’ questions during the day, reiterating, however, that “not to involve NATO forces in the conflict” is a priority.
