Shutting down skies over Ukraine doesn’t mean pulling NATO allies into war - Zelensky

The leader addressed the issue in an interview with CNN and Reuters on Tuesday, March 1, Ukrinform reports.

"I believe that leaders should support democracies across the world who are willing to uphold such principles, so this aid, this powerful assistance regarding the no-fly zone, would be very helpful. It is not about dragging NATO into the war. To be honest, everyone has long been dragged into this war, and certainly not by Ukraine but by Russia," said the president of Ukraine.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, on February 27, a bipartisan duo of U.S. congressmen, Gerald Connolly and Mike Turner, appealed to U.S. President Joe Biden to shut down the skies over Ukraine, where Russian troops have been shelling and destroying key infrastructure since February 24 and missiles - hitting residential areas, killing civilians. Martial law was imposed in Ukraine and general mobilization was announced.
