Volodymyr Zelensky[/B] today again demanded that NATO proceed with the imposition of a no-fly zone in Ukraine's airspace, warning that otherwise it risks seeing "Russian rockets" falling on the territory of its member states.
"Matter of time"
"If you do not block our airspace, it will be just a matter of time, the Russian rockets will fall on your territory, on NATO territory[/B], in the homes of (NATO member states') citizens," the Ukrainian president claimed in a taped message in the early hours of midnight today.
It was expressed a day after Russian air strikes on a Ukrainian training base some twenty kilometers from the border with NATO and EU member state Poland near the Ukrainian city of Lviv (west).
According to Kiev, the Russian bombing resulted in 35 people being killed and 134 others wounded.
"Thirty missiles in the Lviv area alone," the Ukrainian president said. "Nothing is happening there that can threaten the territory of the Russian Federation. And just 20 kilometers from the NATO border."
"Last year, I clearly warned NATO leaders that if they did not take tough preventive measures against the Russian Federation, it would start a war," he continued.
Units of foreign volunteers were bombed
Polish General Waldemar Skripczak, former chief of the Air Force General Staff, said earlier yesterday that units of foreign volunteers who went to Ukraine to fight the Russians were being trained at the bombed base.
It was also home to some of the Western countries' military aid to Ukraine after the Russian invasion on February 24.
About US journalist Brent Renault, who was killed near Kiev yesterday (Sunday), the Ukrainian president claimed he was the victim of a "deliberate attack by the Russian army". Another American journalist, who was in the same vehicle as the deceased, was injured, as was a Ukrainian civilian.
