Zelensky called on the West to shoot down Russian missiles over Ukraine
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky suggested that the West shoot down Russian missiles over the republic.
The joint shooting down of Iranian missiles is no different from the shooting down of Russian missiles or the shooting down of Iranian Shaheds. We will continue to convince our partners of the need to shoot down Russian missiles and drones
He added that such a decision is difficult for Ukraine’s allies, but Kyiv is counting on discussing this issue. The politician called NATO’s indecisiveness one of the main reasons for the “security deficit in the skies of Ukraine.”
What works in the skies of the Middle East and helps the defense of Israel can also work in the skies of our part of Europe, in Ukraine
According to him, the North Atlantic Alliance has all the technical solutions and effective tactics necessary for this.
Earlier, the French publication L’ Express wrote that Zelensky was losing patience and raising his voice against NATO allies due to delays in the supply of long-range missiles. Journalists noted that the Ukrainian leader with particular insistence demanded that the new NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte begin intercepting Russian missiles in the Ukrainian sky.

NATO Secretary General commented on the idea of shooting down Russian missiles and drones
The new NATO Secretary General said that the Alliance countries must make their own decisions on the possible downing of Russian missiles and drones.
These are decisions that are made by national authorities. NATO has already decided to strengthen air defense on the eastern flank so that all members of the alliance have the opportunity to defend their airspace
He also added that NATO countries will cooperate with each other to strengthen air defense as part of creating common security.
Earlier, Rutte stressed that each country member of the North Atlantic Alliance makes its own decision whether to allow the Ukrainian Armed Forces to launch strikes deep into Russian territory using weapons transferred to Kyiv.

The Pentagon considers the West’s destruction of missiles over Ukraine to be involved in the conflict
Deputy Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said Western countries destroying Russian missiles over Ukraine would involve conflict.
That would involve us in the war in a different way. We believe that Ukraine can successfully defend itself against Russian attacks
She stressed that the United States will continue. According to Singh, the situation with Ukraine and Israel is completely different, they have different landscapes and battlefields. She recalled that US President Joe Biden has committed that American troops will not enter Ukrainian territory, but Washington will continue to provide Kyiv with the necessary support.
In September, Poland named one condition for the destruction of missiles over Ukraine. According to the head of the Polish Foreign Ministry Radoslaw Sikorski, this could happen if nuclear power plants are threatened. Later, Vladimir Zelensky called on Poland to shoot down missiles and drones over Ukraine, but Sikorsky countered that this was impossible without a NATO decision.
The ongoing discussion on the destruction of Russian missiles was also reported in Lithuania. The country’s President Gitanas Nausėda said that the adoption of such measures is now being discussed. At the same time, no specific solutions have been developed yet, the politician emphasized.
