Mar 6, 2022: According to a report by AFP, a barrage of Russian missiles destroyed a civilian airport in Vinnytsia in central Ukraine on Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

“I have just been informed about a missile strike on Vinnytsia. Eight rockets… The airport was completely destroyed,” he said.

Zelenskyy took the opportunity to renew his demand that Western powers enforce a no-fly zone over Ukraine to prevent more Russian attacks.

“We repeat every day: close the sky over Ukraine. Close for all Russian missiles, for Russian combat aircraft, for all their terrorists,” he said.

“If you don’t, if you don’t give us at least planes so we can protect ourselves, there’s only one thing to conclude; you want us to be killed very slowly.”

Several Ukrainian cities and air bases have been bombed, shelled or hit by ballistic missiles since the 11-day-old Russian attack. But Vinnytsia is in the western part of central Ukraine, far from the borders of Russia and Belarus, in an area where such attacks were rare.
