PARIS — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenkyy’s call for NATO nations to shoot down Russian missiles over Ukraine from their own airspace is likely to find some support in at least a few friendly European capitals, including from a key Finnish lawmaker who told Breaking Defense he liked the idea.
In an interview with The New York Times, published today, an animated Zelenksyy asked “what’s the problem” with NATO nations aiding Ukraine’s air defense from within their own borders or airspace.
“Why can’t we shoot them down? Is it defense? Yes. Is it an attack on Russia? No,” he said. “Are you shooting down Russian planes and killing Russian pilots? No. So what’s the issue with involving NATO countries in the war? There is no such issue.”
His troops are at the breaking point and he wants a wider war.
