President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky commented on today’s shelling: If NATO does not close our skies, Russian missiles will fall on the homes of citizens of the countries of the Alliance.
He stated this in a video message .
The President recalled that today is the 18th day of the struggle of Ukrainians for their independence.
“The beginning of today was black – air bombs again hit our state from East to West. 30 missiles on Lviv region alone. As a result of shelling at the International Center for Peacekeeping and Security, 35 people were killed, another 134 people were injured. Nothing happened there, which could threaten the territory of the Russian Federation. And only 20 km from there are NATO borders,” Zelensky said.
He said that last year he warned NATO leaders that if there were no tough preventive sanctions against the Russian Federation, it would go to war.
“We were right. I have been saying for a long time that Nord Stream 2 is a weapon that will hit all of Europe. Now it is obvious. And now I repeat again: if you do not close our skies, then it is only a matter of time before Russian missiles will fall on your territory, on NATO territory, on the homes of citizens of NATO countries,” the President stressed.
Zelensky also recalled that today an American journalist was killed in the Kyiv region, and his colleague was injured.
“It was a deliberate attack by the Russian military. They knew what they were doing, but it seems that not everyone in the West knows what they are doing,” he stressed.
The head of state also said that in the east of Ukraine the invaders “decided to demilitarize and denazify” the Svyatogorsk Lavra of the UOC-MP.
“At the time of the strike, there were monks and hundreds of refugees on the territory of the monastery, there was no military target at the Lavra or near it. But the Russian military does not stop even before strikes on the Lavra. This fact alone demonstrates that the entire ideology of the Russian Federation is just a lie “, he thinks.
“President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky commented on today’s shelling: If NATO does not close our skies, Russian missiles will fall on the homes of citizens of the countries of the Alliance.”
He’s right isn’t he?
Putler is insane enough to do it, I think.
I don’t think Putin will stop either. If given another 3 years with no resistance he could eye Moldova, Georgia and try his land bridge again through Lithuania I fear.
I suppose the one variable is what will be left of his army when he stops bombing Ukraine? He can’t hope to occupy but he can sow evil, so yeah, I think he wants to pick a fight before he dies.
