The war between Russia and Ukraine is still going on, with Russia threatening to strike other countries in the region.
Russia is on the verge of invading NATO territory, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, following a fatal Russian missile assault on a Ukrainian training center just 10 miles from the NATO-member Poland’s border.
This was announced in a short video message posted shortly after midnight on Monday. In the video, Zelensky makes yet another urgent appeal to NATO countries to put their fears of escalation aside and establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine, claiming that conflict is already on their doorstep and will soon spill into their country.
“If you don’t seal our skies, it’ll only be a matter of time before Russian missiles strike your country, NATO territory, and NATO residents’ houses,” President Zelensky said.
This follows the imposition of economic sanctions on Russia by the US and its allies. The financial penalties were appreciated by Zelensky, but he felt they arrived too late. “Last year, I issued a clear warning to NATO leaders that if harsh preventive sanctions against Russia were not imposed, a war would break out,” Zelensky stated.
