NATO has responded to the recent statement by Poland’s Foreign Minister, Radosław Sikorski, who suggested that Russian missiles should be intercepted over Ukrainian territory.
This comes amid ongoing tensions and continued military aggression by Russia in Ukraine. The response from NATO underscores the complexity of such actions and the potential implications for the entire alliance.
In a statement a NATO spokesperson addressed Sikorski’s comments, acknowledging the right of NATO member states to protect their airspace. However, the spokesperson cautioned that actions taken by individual countries in support of Ukraine could have broader repercussions for NATO as a whole. The spokesperson emphasised the importance of preventing further escalation of Russia’s war in Ukraine and reiterated that NATO is not, and will not become, a party to the conflict.
