Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says Russian missiles will strike NATO without no-fly zone over Ukraine
In a video address posted shortly after midnight Monday, Zelensky made another urgent plea to NATO members to set aside their fear of escalation and establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine because war is already on their doorstep and will spill into their territory without one.
The U.S. has also dedicated billions of dollars in defensive, economic, and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine, but the Biden administration has been hesitant to support certain actions that officials say could draw the U.S. into direct combat with the Russian military, which includes NATO closing the sky over Ukraine."No-fly zone has a nice air policing sound to it, but I participated in one as a young officer on an aircraft carrier way back in the early ‘90s. It is combat.
"As we provide this support to Ukraine, we’re going to continue to stand together with our allies in Europe and send an unmistakable message that we will defend every inch of NATO territory — every single inch — with a united, galvanized NATO. One movement," Biden said in a speech Friday."That’s why I’ve moved over 12,000 American forces along the borders with Russia — Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Romania, etc. — because they move once.
