Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy laid some blame for deaths in his country on Western nations not imposing a no-fly zone over Ukraine. “Thirteen days, during which we’ve been just hearing promises, when they tell us that yes, very, very soon you’ll get help in the sky, there’ll be planes given to us,” Zelenskyy said during a speech Tuesday. RUSSIA INVADES UKRAINE: LIVE UPDATES”The fault lies with the invaders,” Zelenskyy added. “But the responsibility for this lies also with those who have not been able to make an obviously necessary decision somewhere in the West, somewhere in the offices for 13 days.
