US EditionNATO Should Impose No-Fly Zone over Ukraine to Protect Against Russian Drones, Poland Says
- Poland and Romania scrambled fighter jets on September 10 and 13 after multiple Russian drones violated their airspace near Ukraine's border.
- These incursions followed Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and sparked renewed debate about NATO establishing a no-fly zone over Ukraine.
- Polish and Romanian officials labelled the drone violations as provocations, while NATO allies have increased military support but stopped short of enforcing a no-fly zone to avoid direct war with Russia.
- On September 15, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov asserted that NATO's military support for Ukraine effectively places the alliance in conflict with Russia, a fact he claimed is self-evident. Meanwhile, Dmitry Medvedev cautioned that imposing a no-fly zone by NATO would escalate the situation into open hostilities between the two sides.
- The incidents and warnings underscore escalating tensions with Russia threatening retaliation, and NATO members increasing defense readiness without directly entering the conflict.
