NATO leaders will share in the guilt for the deaths of Ukrainian civilians targeted by Russia, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who fumed at Western “weakness” following a rebuff from officials in Brussels.

“By refusing to establish a no-fly zone, today NATO leaders gave the ‘green light’ for further bombing of Ukrainian cities and villages,” Zelensky said Friday, according to a translation from Ukrainian journalist Oleksiy Sorokin. “All the people who will die from this day will also die because of you, because of your weakness, because of your disunity.”
