Ukrainian President Zelensky has repeatedly urged Western leaders to impose a "no-fly zone" over Ukraine.
President Biden and the White House have repeatedly said the U.S. will not send American troops to fight Russia in Ukraine, including to enforce a NFZ.
"It would require, essentially, the U.S. military shooting down Russian planes and causing ... a potential direct war with Russia something we want to avoid," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has also ruled out NFZs, saying: "We understand the desperation but we also believe that if we did that (impose a no-fly zone) we would end up with something that could lead to a full-fledged war in Europe involving [many] more countries and much more suffering."
“We are not part of this conflict, and we have a responsibility to ensure it does not escalate and spread beyond Ukraine.”
Putin has said that Moscow will consider a declaration of Ukraine as a no-fly zone by any third-party as "participation in the armed conflict."
"That very second, we will view them as participants of the military conflict, and it would not matter what members they are," Putin said.
The Ukraine ought to settle their dispute with Russia and live in Peace instead of asking for a World War three.
