By refusing to close the skies over Ukraine, NATO leadership "green-lighted" the further bombardment of Ukrainian territory by Russian troops.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this during his address on Friday, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

"Today, the leadership of the Alliance green-lighted the further bombing of Ukrainian cities and villages by refusing to create a no-fly zone. You could close the skies, but… I do not know who you can protect, whether you can protect your countries – the countries of the Alliance. You will not be able to buy off from us with liters of fuel for liters of our blood that was shed for our common Europe, for our common freedom, for our common future," he said.
