NATO remains cautious in the conflict

In Ukraine, President Zelensky is at war and angry. “TAll the people who will die from today will also die because of you, because of your weakness, because of your disunity“, he rails against NATO. The president is not angry with the organization which rejected yesterday, March 4, the request to impose a no-fly zone in the sky of Ukraine. This overflight ban was intended to limit bombing.

In ten days of conflict, Russiais indeed assured a control of the sky according to images provided by the Russian army. But’NATO wants to avoid a direct confrontation. “We are not part of this conflict, but we have a responsibility to avoid escalation beyond Ukraine“, says Jens StoltenbergSecretary General of NATO. An expert explains that this decision helps to avoid what could trigger “a third world war“. Vladimir Putin confirmed that any closure of the sky would be the red line not to cross.
