He spoke after an airstrike hit a Ukrainian military base close to the Polish border.
In a video address on Monday, Zelensky reiterated his call for a no-fly zone sanction over Ukraine.
“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.
“Last year, I clearly warned NATO leaders that if there were no harsh preventive sanctions against the Russian Federation, it would go to war. We were right.”
Further east, the latest fighting in Kyiv’s suburbs left a US journalist dead — the first foreign reporter killed since Russia’s invasion of its neighbour on February 24.
“Kyiv. A city under siege,” presidential advisor Mykhailo Podolyak wrote on Twitter. He said the city was preparing a “ruthless defence”.
Meanwhile, efforts continued to get help to Mariupol, which aid agencies say is facing a humanitarian catastrophe.
A humanitarian column headed there had to turn back again on Sunday, a city official told AFP, after the Russians “did not stop firing.”
A total of 2,187 residents have now died in days of relentless Russian bombardment, the city council said Sunday.
