Stoltenberg on Zelensky's Request: Why NATO Did Not Close the Sky over Ukraine.

Stoltenberg's Refusal to Create a No-Fly Zone over Ukraine

The news discusses the difficult situation when former NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg refused President Volodymyr Zelensky's request to establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine. Stoltenberg explained that the president called him from a bunker in Kyiv during the Russian military offensive, asking to protect Ukrainian airspace. He also mentioned similar cases when NATO imposed a no-fly zone over other countries to protect them from aggression.

Jens Stoltenberg also expressed his opinion on NATO's support for Ukraine, calling it 'controversial', and emphasized the importance of changing the calculations of the Russian leader through increased assistance to Ukraine at the front.

The situation surrounding the no-fly zone has raised many questions about the international community's readiness to support Ukraine in its struggle against the aggressor. Stoltenberg's statements highlight the complexity of decision-making at NATO regarding military support for countries caught in conflict zones. Many experts believe that such decisions could influence the further course of the war and the future of the region.
