Earlier, Zelenskyy in a video tackle stated that “the world is robust sufficient to shut our skies.” His remarks were a response to NATO’s decision to rule out policing a no-fly zone over Ukraine.

NATO had claimed that establishing a no-fly zone would risk escalating the conflict as foreign militaries would be involved directly. Although the United States and many Western countries have backed Ukraine with weapons shipments, they have sent no troops.

Meanwhile, on Saturday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Moscow would consider any third-party declaration of a no-fly zone over Ukraine as a “declaration of battle”.
