NATO countries are currently discussing the possibility of taking the skies over the western regions of Ukraine under protection. This was reported by the German newspaper Bild, citing two unnamed sources.
Estonia, the United Kingdom, Poland, Canada, Lithuania, and France are in favor of expanding aid. However, the United States and Germany, as always fearing escalation, oppose such measures.
There are no final decisions yet, but negotiations are underway in several areas:
Training of the Ukrainian Armed Forces by NATO instructors on the territory of Ukraine.
Logistics. A number of NATO countries are ready to supply weapons and ammunition not only to Ukraine’s borders but also further to the front line in the future.
AIR DEFENSE. The protection of Western Ukraine’s airspace by NATO anti-aircraft systems is being discussed. Poland is the initiator of the “extended air defense,” but no final decision has been made.
At the same time, according to Bild, a number of NATO countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, and Estonia, are also proposing to deliver weapons and ammunition not only to Ukraine’s borders but also further to the front line in the future. They are currently developing the concept of “advanced logistics.”
