New Delhi: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has slammed NATO’s decision not to implement a no-fly zone over Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.
“A NATO summit took place today. It was a weak summit, a confused summit, a summit that shows that not everyone considers the fight for freedom in Europe the number one goal,” Zelenskyy said in a video message, as quoted by Russia’s Sputnik. Zelenskyy accused the members of the military alliance of giving Russia “the green light to start shelling Ukrainian cities and villages.”
He said that NATO countries have created a narrative that closing the skies over Ukraine would provoke Russia’s direct aggression against NATO. “This is the self-hypnosis of those who are weak, insecure inside, despite the fact they possess weapons many times stronger than we have,” the Ukrainian President was quoted as saying by CNN.
