Stoltenberg explained why NATO would not close the sky over Ukraine

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the Alliance was not ready to provide a no-fly zone over Ukraine.The Secretary General said this before the start of the NATO summit.Stoltenberg stressed that NATO member countries provided significant military assistance to Ukraine in its fight against Russian invaders. In particular, they trained tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers who were on the front lines fighting the invaders.According to Stoltenberg, NATO is also providing Ukraine with new air defense systems, anti-tank weapons, ammunition and fuel. But we have also made it clear that we would not send NATO troops or NATO aircraft in the air. We do this because we have a responsibility to ensure that this conflict does not spill over into Ukraine and lead to more suffering, death and destruction, – Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said.The no-fly zone will mean that NATO would have to attack air defense systems in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine on a large scale, and would also be ready to shoot down Russian aircraft. This will lead to a full-scale war between NATO and Russia, – Stoltenberg said.Earlier, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg called threats to use Russia’s nuclear weapons “dangerous and irresponsible“. According to him, such a war cannot be won.Source: European TruthPhoto: NАТО
