Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has urged NATO to establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine in response to recent Russian drone attacks, including an incident that occurred in Eastern Poland last week. Sikorski emphasized that while NATO and the European Union have the capability to implement such a measure, Poland cannot make this decision independently and requires the consensus of its allies.
“Protection for our population — for example, from falling debris — would naturally be greater if we could combat drones and other flying objects beyond our national territory,” Sikorski stated. He also noted that if Ukraine were to request assistance in shooting down drones over its territory, it would be beneficial for Poland. “If you ask me personally, we should consider it,” he added.
This call for a no-fly zone comes amid escalating tensions in the region, with NATO members discussing various strategies to enhance security against potential Russian aggression.
