Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky lashed NATO on Friday for ruling out a no-fly zone over his country, saying the Western military alliance knew further Russian aggression was likely.

Earlier Friday, NATO rejected Ukraine’s request to impose a no-fly zone to halt Russia’s bombing, but Western allies did warn President Vladimir Putin of fresh sanctions if he does not stop the war.

“Knowing that new strikes and casualties are inevitable, NATO deliberately decided not to close the sky over Ukraine,” Zelensky said in a video published by the presidency.

“We believe that the NATO countries themselves have created a narrative that the closing of the skies over Ukraine would provoke direct Russian aggression against NATO.”

NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg had said the alliance would not intervene in the conflict over fears of a direct clash with Moscow that could spiral into a wider conflict.

“The only way to implement a no-fly zone is to send NATO fighter planes into Ukraine’s airspace, and then impose that no-fly zone by shooting down Russian planes,” Stoltenberg said after the urgent meeting.

“If we did that, we’ll end up with something that could end in a full-fledged war in Europe, involving many more countries and causing much more human suffering.”

Ukraine enter one chance for this Zelenski hand
Zelenski expects western world leaders to risk a nuclear war with Russia over ordinary ukraine. His expectation from day one was that NATO would come to his defense in the face of Russian attack, so he decided to stand up to Russia. Woman and children dying and cities brought to ruin. Just because he couldn't properly access what the outcome was going to be.
Pray never to have a president whose shortsightedness brings doom upon ur country

In his mind NATO will strike russia. In a team you are yet to become a player.

Can you just imagine this bloody comedian
Zelensky has learnt a lesson never to sell his brothers to the West for packs of sweets.

You are too gullible to have relied on NATO as Saviour. Russia is not like Afghanistan, Irag, Libya or Syria where they easily mobilized themselves and start dropping bombs with reckless abandoned.

Putin must pay for this

A mad man with 6000 nukes must be feared. The only thing keeping Russian as one of the world powers is their nuke.
NATO doesn't want to risk provoking a mad man into nuclear conflict, they have a lot to lose than Russia. But if push comes to shove, Russia would be levelled down.

Zelensky, there's nothing much NATO can for you cos you're not a member.

You're joking right?

He is currently the dumbest president in world today.

Imagine plugging a poor country like Ukraine in a war between US and Russia.

While there are wanton human and infrastructural destruction going in Ukraine. People in Washington and Moscow are sipping their coffees.

How dumb can a president be?

I dont think lashing out at nato for not imposing a nofly zone is welcome.Ukraine isn't NATO member yet, so you don't expect them to come for your aid.
