Insight Bureau: Situation is going from bad to worse for Ukraine after NATO categorically refused to impose ‘No Fly Zone’. As Russia taking over the Nuclear Power Plants in Ukraine and inching close to control the entire country, President Zelenskyy slammed the NATO for “inaction” calling them “weak” and “indecisive”.
“Today the alliance’s leadership gave a green light to the further bombardment of Ukrainian towns and villages, refusing to establish a no-fly zone (over Ukraine),” said Zelenskyy.
