“If Ukraine falls, all of Europe falls,” President Zelensky repeats on Saturday, March 5. These very harsh words were spoken against NATO because it wants to stay out of this conflict.

In Ukraine, President Zelensky is fighting and angry. “All the people who die from today will also die because of you, because of your weakness, because of your disunity,” he spoke out against NATO. The president is not angry at the organization that yesterday, March 4, rejected a request to introduce a no-fly zone in the skies of Ukraine. This overflight ban was intended to limit bombing.

Judging by the images provided by the Russian army, during the ten days of the conflict, Russia really took control of the sky. But NATO wants to avoid direct confrontation. “We are not part of this conflict, but we have an obligation to avoid escalation outside of Ukraine,” NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said. The expert explains that this decision avoids what could provoke a “third world war.” Vladimir Putin confirmed that any closing of the sky would be a red line that should not be crossed.
