Zelensky once again called for a no-fly zone over Ukraine



“Each of the 800 Russian missiles that hit our country is an answer to the old question of NATO opening the door to Ukraine’s membership,” Zelensky was quoted as saying by CNN on Wednesday morning. If these doors were open, and if NATO was honest, we would not have to work for 20 days to convince it to ban Russian fighter jets from flying over Ukraine. But they do not hear our voice or do not want to hear it.

He also described NATO clause 5, which states collective defense (attacking one member equal to attacking all members), as “weak”.

“A number of countries have stated that they can not shoot down Russian fighters because it would escalate tensions and trigger a third world war,” Zelensky said. If Russia advances in Europe and attacks their countries, what will be their response?

White House spokesman Jen Saki said on Tuesday that the United States still did not support the imposition of a no-fly zone over Ukraine and the deployment of fighter jets, despite repeated requests from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

“We have heard for years about NATO’s open doors, but we have also heard that we will not be able to enter, and this is a fact that must be addressed,” he said during a video conference on Tuesday. Accepted it.

The President of the Council of Europe warned on Monday that NATO’s involvement in the Ukraine conflict could lead to the outbreak of World War III.

Russia went to war with Ukraine on March 25, seeking recognition of the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics and criticizing Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier and on March 2 for the West’s indifference to Moscow’s security concerns. It had joined the European Union and NATO.

Following the war, Western European leaders, who had previously strongly supported Kiev over Russia, held news conferences at European Commission President von der Lahn, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, and finally British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. “Ukraine’s membership in the European Union and NATO is not possible overnight, and there is no prospect of such membership in the near future, and the Ukraine war is not a NATO war, and Moscow’s security concerns should be taken into account through negotiations,” he said. They sat back and actually left Kiev in front of Moscow.
