The action of such a shield can apply to Ukraine’s nuclear power plants, in cities – Kyiv, Odessa and Lviv, but not the front line and not east of Ukraine.
European military forces out of 120 warriors can be deployed in Kiev and the western part of Ukraine to protect against Russian attacks. This was reported by the British newspaper The Guardian on Thursday, March 6.
According to the publication, such a sky shield (Sky Shield) represents a zone of air protection under the leadership of Europe, acting separately from NATO. It is involved to stop attacking Russian cruise missiles and drones in cities and infrastructure in Ukraine. Also, perhaps, he will act as part of “Truce in the sky”, proposed by Vladimir Zelensky.
It is said that such a shield could apply to the three existing nuclear plants of Ukraine, in the cities -Odessa and LVIV, but not in the front line and not the east of the country, and, according to recently published documents, could “have a larger military, political and social -economic influence than 10 thousand European forces.”
At the same time, supporters of the initiative will consider the possible risks for minimal pilots, as Russia since 2022 has not dared to use an aircraft outside the line. According to developmental developers, the distance between the aircraft of NATO countries and Russian fighters is over 200 km, which significantly reduces the likelihood of a direct collision.
The Ukraine Rustem Umarov’s defense minister commented on the British newspaper information at a press conference in Berlin.
“We have consultants every time with European partners in the” Air Shield “. Right now there are no details, but not without our participation, and my work and goal are to visit European partners to create specific clarity related to priorities for 2025,” he said.
Earlier this week, President Vladimir Zelensky published a post on social networks X, where he expressed his readiness for peace negotiations and suggested the first stages of a Truce. They include an immediate truce in the sky – a ban on missiles, long drones and attacks on civilian infrastructure.
