War in Ukraine | NATO defends its decision not to establish a no-fly zone

(OTTAWA) NATO has a responsibility to ensure that the war does not escalate beyond Ukraine’s borders, because the consequences would be disastrous, according to its secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg. The latter participated virtually in a defense conference in Ottawa on Wednesday.

Mr Stoltenberg defended the defensive alliance’s recent decision not to establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine.

“It’s not just about declaring a no-fly zone,” he said. It has to be imposed and the only way to do that is to massively attack Russian air defense systems. »

This would escalate the fighting in Ukraine and start a real war in Europe that would involve all NATO allies, he said.
