The parliament of Estonia on Monday called for UN member states to "take immediate steps to establish a no-fly zone" over Ukraine to prevent further civilian casualties as Russia’s multi-front war against the country rages on.

Estonia is the first NATO member nation to have a body formally call for the implementation of a no-fly zone amid Russia’s ongoing invasion.

"The Riigikogu (Parliament of Estonia) expresses its support to the defenders and the people of the state of Ukraine in their fight against the Russian Federation that has launched a criminal war, and calls on showing absolute support to Ukraine in its war for maintaining its freedom, sovereignty and territorial integrity," Estonia's parliament said in a statement Monday.

Estonia’s parliament said it "underlines" that Russia’s "unprovoked aggression and military activities constitute a crime against peace with no statute of limitations, and that all war crimes that have been committed will have to be punished."

"The Riigikogu asks the UN member states to take immediate steps to establish a no-fly zone in order to prevent massive civilian casualties in Ukraine," the body stated. "The Riigikogu urges all national parliaments to adopt statements that call on their governments to support the imposition of additional sanctions against the Russian Federation as well as the Republic of Belarus that participates in the aggression."

Estonia’s parliament also called for the "immediate imposition of a comprehensive trade embargo on the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus, which would restrict the capability of the aggressor states to wage war."

Neutral Russia?

With Stinger missles and the like, Ukraine is managing to survive.
NATO's sanctions will be biting with full force in another two weeks, so there's no need to give an ever more desperate Putin an excuse to unleash weapons of mass destruction and risk WWIII.
Putin blundered! We're seeing signs of him looking for a dignified exit. Lavrov has mumbled something about a negotiated settlement in the form of a neutral Ukraine. In the form of Sweden, that would probably be acceptable.
