The day before, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said that Poland and other countries bordering Ukraine should shoot down Russian missiles before they enter their airspace.
NATO responded to Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski's call to shoot down Russian missiles, and namely, that Poland and other countries bordering Ukraine are obliged to shoot down Russian missiles before they enter their airspace. The North Atlantic Alliance, however, stated that NATO “is not and will not become a party to the conflict” in Ukraine.
The Alliance representative said this in a comment to the Europa Press agency.
The NATO spokesman stated that such actions could have consequences for the entire Alliance, which “is responsible for preventing further escalation of Russia's war.”
He also stressed that NATO “is not and will not become a party to the conflict” in Ukraine.
The NATO representative acknowledged the right of each member of the Alliance to defend its airspace, but warned that the actions of individual states in support of Ukraine “could also affect NATO in in general.”
“That is why the allies must continue to consult closely,” the speaker added.
Recall that earlier, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski noted in an interview with the Financial Times that NATO membership does not cancel each country's responsibility to protect its own airspace.
“This is our constitutional duty,” Radoslaw Sikorski added.
