‘All that the alliance was able to do today was to pass through its procurement system 50 tons of diesel fuel’
Amid the continued assault of Russian forces, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has criticised NATO, citing that “all the people who die from this day forward will also die because of you.”
In a strongly-worded speech addressing NATO directly, he said: “Starting from today everyone who dies will die because of you as well, because of your weakness, because of your disunity.”

Zelenskyy added that a no-fly zone, which is a highly debated topic on UK soil, has “given the green light for the bombardment of Ukrainian cities and villages.”
“All that the alliance was able to do today was to pass through its procurement system 50 tons of diesel fuel for Ukraine. Perhaps so we could burn the Budapest Memorandum,” Mr Zelensky said. The Ukrainian President is referring to the 1994 security guarantees given to his country in exchange for the withdrawal of its nuclear weapons. “You will not be able to pay us off with litres of fuel for the litres of our blood, shed for our common Europe,” he added.

“The only way to implement a no-fly zone is to send Nato planes – fighter planes – into Ukrainian airspace, and then impose that no-fly zone by shooting down Russian planes,” Nato Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said in Brussels on Friday.
“If we did that, we’ll end up with something that could end in a full-fledged war in Europe involving many more countries and causing much more human suffering.”

America’s Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, echoed Stoltenberg’s sentiment, stating: “President Biden has been clear that we are not going to get into a war with Russia.”
