Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine: NATO is also responsible for the deaths of civilians

Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister Olga Stefanisina has said that NATO is partly responsible for the deaths of civilians in the country because it refuses to impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine.

Speaking to BBC Radio, Stefanisina said: “It is inhumane to know that the civilian population and children will be killed by not making this decision.”

“The blood of these civilians – including the mother and father of two children who were born just yesterday and just today lost their parents in a bombing – is not only in Russian hands,” he said.

She apologized for not being diplomatic in her choice of language, but said she was speaking while “in a shelter”.

NATO members have refused to implement a no-fly zone, fearing it would escalate the conflict by putting Western powers in direct combat with the Russian air force.
