Against the backdrop of the incident involving unmanned aerial vehicles, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski called on NATO and EU countries to consider establishing a no-fly zone over Ukraine. He made this statement in an interview with Die Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
According to Radoslaw Sikorski, the idea of imposing a no-fly zone over Ukraine was discussed as early as 2024.
“If Ukraine asks us to shoot them down [unmanned aerial vehicles — ed.] over its territory, it will be beneficial for us. If you ask my personal opinion, I think we should consider it,” said the Polish Foreign Minister.
Sikorski noted that, from a technical point of view, the allies could jointly maintain a no-fly zone.
The minister also stated that the Armed Forces of Ukraine demonstrate a higher readiness to combat drones compared to the Polish army.
“Therefore, we must change our thinking: in this matter, it is not us who are training the Ukrainians, but they who are training us,” said Radoslaw Sikorski.
Earlier, Polish President Karol Nawrocki signed a resolution granting permission for NATO military forces to remain in the country.
