Ukraine's First Lady Olena Zelenska warned that if Putin is not stopped, nobody will be safe.
New Delhi: Days after NATO rejected Ukrainian calls to help it protect its skies from Russian missiles and warplanes, Ukraine's First Lady Olena Zelenska on Wednesday (March 9, 2022) wrote an open letter and asked 'those in power' to close their skies.
In an emotional letter addressed to the media about the devastation and despair caused by the ongoing war, Olena warned that if Russian President Vladimir Putin is not stopped, nobody will be safe.
"If we don't stop Putin, who threatens to start a nuclear war, there will be no safe place in the world for any of us," she wrote.
"What happened just over a week ago was impossible to believe. Our country was peaceful; our cities, towns, and villages were full of life. On February 24th, we all woke up to the announcement of a Russian invasion. Tanks crossed the Ukrainian border, planes entered our airspace, missile launchers surrounded our cities.
"Despite assurances from Kremlin-backed propaganda outlets, who call this a "special operation" - it is, in fact, the mass murder of Ukrainian civilians," Olena Zelenska said.
