The shocking video of a “bombed Paris” launched by the Ukrainian government to ask for more support from Europe

In a new request for help from NATO, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine released this Saturday a shocking video showing what a Russian attack on the city of Paris would be like. The nearly minute-long montage includes footage of bombings of the Eiffel Tower and surrounding areas and again calls for a no-fly zone to be established over Ukraine amid the invasion ordered by Vladimir Putin.

The material begins with the representation of a tourist who takes a photo next to the emblematic monument of the French capital and immediately after explosions begin to be observed everywhere while the screams of numerous people are heard.

during the sequence several planes can be seen flying through the Parisian sky at high speed while dropping bombs over the city, which is gradually covered by columns of black smoke. Then the image darkens and a message addressed to NATO allies appears: “Just think if this happened in another European capital.”

“We will fight to the end, giving ourselves the chance to live,” the text continues and demands: “Close the sky over Ukraine or give us air fighters”to end with a quote from Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky: “If we fall, so do you.”

The video released by the Ukrainian government comes after Kremlin forces bombed a mosque housing more than 80 people, including children, in the city of Mariupol, while the conflict rages on the outskirts of Kiev.

According to the Zelensky administration, air raid sirens sounded throughout the capital region and artillery shelling forced residents to run for cover. The impacts were felt on the northwestern outskirts of Kiev. Meanwhile, to the southwest of the city, two columns of smoke, one black and one white, rose in Vaslkyiv after an attack on an ammunition depot.

According to the agency Associated PressRussia’s apparent slow and exhausting attempt to encircle the city and shelling of other population centers with artillery and air strikes reflect tactics Putin’s forces previously used in other campaignsespecially in Syria and Chechnya, to crush armed resistance.

Zelensky’s claim and NATO’s position

As a result of the devastating and incessant attacks by Russian aircraft, Zelensky has been demanding for days from NATO the establishment of a no-fly zone over Ukraine.

Faced with the organization’s refusal, the president publicly declared: “Despite knowing that new bombings and new casualties are inevitable, NATO deliberately decided not to close Ukraine’s airspace. We understand that the member countries have created a narrative for themselves, according to which the closure of Ukraine’s airspace would provoke direct aggression by Russia against NATO.”

Precisely, the Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenbergruled out the possibility of accessing the order by remembering: “The allies agreed that we should not have aircraft over Ukraine’s airspace, or NATO troops on Ukraine’s territory.”. According to the diplomat, “the only way to implement a no-fly zone” would be to send combat planes that would have to shoot down Russian fighters operating in Ukraine, which would unleash something that “may turn into a total war in Europeengulfing many other countries and causing much more human suffering.”
