The day before, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said that Russian missiles need to be shot down before they enter their airspace. NATO responded to Sikorski's call.

They said that “such actions could affect the entire alliance.” This was stated by a NATO representative in a commentary to Europa Press.

The NATO representative noted that the Alliance is responsible for “preventing further escalation of Russia's war.” He also noted that NATO “is not a party to the conflict and will not become part of the conflict.”

According to him, each NATO member country has the right to defend its airspace, but added that the actions of individual states in support of Ukraine could affect the Alliance as a whole.

“That is why the allies must continue close consultations,” the speaker added.
