The decision will lead to a war between NATO and Russia, NATO believes.
NATO member countries are united in the decision not to create a no-fly zone over Ukraine. Contrary to repeated calls for this by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, reports the Chronicle.info with reference to RBC-Ukraine.
«There will be no deployment of air or ground forces in Ukraine, and this is the unified position of our allies», — said Stoltenberg.
He clarified that the ministers discussed this issue at a meeting of foreign ministers on Tuesday, adding that the Alliance intends «to prevent the escalation of the war with Russia».
«We see the destruction, we see the human suffering in Ukraine, but it could get worse if NATO takes actions that actually turn this into a full-fledged war between NATO and Russia», — added Stoltenberg.
