On Tuesday morning Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky warned the Western leaders that the Russian “war machine” will target them if it is not stopped. Zelensky also thanked countries who have “taken a moral stance” against Russia over its attack on Ukraine, he specially thanked the UK prime minister Boris Johnson “for his leadership”.
"We can stop Russia. We can stop the killing of people. It will be easier to do it together, to stop the destruction of democracy and stop it now on our land. Because else, they will also come to you," he told the leaders.
Earlier, today Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his frustration on Nato over the refusal to implement a no-fly zone. Mr Zelensky said Nato had been “hypnotised” by Russia in a video call to Boris Johnson and representatives from the Joint Expedition Force countries gathered in Lancaster House.
Vladimir Putin’s invasion had undermined the European security infrastructure, he said.
Nato is “the strongest alliance in the world” but “some of the members of this alliance are hypnotised by Russian aggression”, he added.
The war between Russia and Ukraine is going on for three weeks now, but no concrete results have yet been reached. Russia has been attacking several Ukrainian cities for so long. But bitter resistance from Ukraine's military and civilians remains a major obstacle to Russia's victory. Therefore, mighty Russia has become weak. At the same time, Ukraine has accused Russia of using banned phosphorus munitions in an overnight attack on the town of Popasna in Ukraine’s eastern Luhansk region.
