LVIV, March 14 (AFP) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) on Monday (Mar 14) that its member states would soon be attacked by Russian forces after an air strike hit a Ukrainian military base close to the Polish border.

While western Ukraine has largely been spared so far, Russian air strikes overnight Saturday into Sunday carried the war deep into the west, killing 35 people and wounding 134 at a military base near Yavoriv, outside the city of Lviv - which is dangerously close to the frontier with EU and NATO member Poland.

"If you do not close our sky, it is only a matter of time before Russian missiles fall on your territory, on NATO territory, on the homes of NATO citizens," Zelenskyy said in a video address released shortly after midnight, urging NATO to impose a no-fly zone over his country.

Washington and its EU allies have sent funds and military aid to Ukraine and imposed unprecedented economic sanctions on Russia.

Zelenskyy has continued to implore foreign counterparts to do more.
