The general secretary of the NATOJens Stoltenberg, closed the door on Friday to the Ukrainian request for set up a zone from exclusion aerial.
“The allies agreed that we should not have aircraft over Ukraine’s airspace, nor troops from the NATO on the territory of Ukraine”, he declared at the end of an emergency meeting of foreign ministers of the organization.
According to Stoltenberg, “the only way to implement a zone from exclusion aerial in Ukraine” is by sending combat aircraft from the NATOwhich would have to shoot down Russian fighters operating in Ukraine.
“We believe that if we do that, we will end up having something that can become a total war in Europe, engulfing many other countries and causing much more human suffering,” he said.
