Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has urged NATO to implement a no-fly zone over his nation or face Russian attacks on NATO member states.

He speaks a day after Russian soldiers began air attacks on a military training camp outside Ukraine’s western city of Lviv, near the border with NATO member Poland, killing 35 people and injuring more than 130.

The US media reported on Sunday that Russia has sought China for military and economic assistance inside its conflict in Ukraine, just hours after the White House warned Beijing that it would suffer harsh “consequences” if it assisted Moscow in evading sanctions.

According to US authorities, Russia has sought military weaponry and assistance from its main partner.

According to the New York Times, citing anonymous sources yet again, Moscow has begged Beijing for economic assistance in the face of punishing sanctions imposed by the majority of the Western world.
