Ukraine invasion: Zelenskyy warns 'weak' NATO will be partly responsible for fatalities as it fails to impose no-fly zone
In a strongly worded, emotional speech, the president told the alliance: "Starting from today everyone who dies will die because of you as well, because of your weakness, because of your disunity."

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has criticised NATO for failing to impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine.

In a strongly worded, emotional speech, the president told the alliance: "Starting from today everyone who dies will die because of you as well, because of your weakness, because of your disunity."

Mr Zelenskyy also claimed that the absence of a no-fly zone has effectively "given the green light for the bombardment of Ukrainian cities and villages".

NATO has been facing fresh calls to enforce a no-fly zone after Russian troops launched a "dangerous" attack on Europe's largest nuclear power plant - but leaders ruled out the introduction of such measures at a summit on Friday.

The alliance's secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, fears it would elevate the risk of a wider war in Europe as NATO planes would have to shoot down Russian aircraft.

And in a second video released this morning, Mr Zelenskyy reiterated his call for a no-fly zone and claimed that 74% of Americans support the idea.

Zelensky made a play to get NATO actively involved in fighting on the Ukrainian side in the conflict. It failed, because if NATO instituted a no-fly zone, it would have to enforce that no-fly zone. Which would entail NATO aircraft trying to shoot down Russian aircraft. Which would touch off WW3.
