Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>On Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky repeated his call to Washington to approve the creation of a no-fly zone over Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that Moscow would consider \u201cany move in this direction\u201d a threat to the Russian military.<\/p>\n

US lawmakers from both the Republican and Democratic parties have shied away from Kiev\u2019s request to establish a no-fly zone over the country, citing the danger of a direct military confrontation with Russia.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing is certainly true: shooting down Russian planes would require a declaration of war from Congress \u2013 which isn\u2019t happening,\u201d Murphy later tweeted.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I don\u2019t think that\u2019s in the best interest of NATO, our partners and allies and friends. But what we can do is provide all the defensive mechanisms for President Zelensky and his armed services to provide their own protected airspace. And that starts, of course, with providing air platforms to President Zelensky, making sure that those pilots are able to protect their own airspace,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The Biden White House has repeatedly eschewed the idea of a US or NATO-enforced no-fly zone over Ukraine. Senator Joe Manchin \u2013 the West Virginia Democrat known for taking stances opposed to Biden\u2019s, told Meet the Press he would \u201ctake nothing off the table\u201d when it comes to the crisis in Ukraine. \u201cBut I would let \u2013 be very clear that we\u2019re going to support the Ukrainian people, the Ukrainian president and his government in every way humanely possible,\u201d Manchin said.<\/p>\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Saturday that Moscow would treat any aircraft or other military assets seeking to impose a no-fly zone as a military target.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are hearing voices that a no-fly zone should be imposed over Ukraine. It is impossible to do this in Ukraine. It can only be done from the territory of neighbouring states. However, we will consider any move in this direction as participation in the armed conflict of the country from whose territory a threat to our servicemen is created. We will consider them participants in hostilities that very second. Their membership in any organization will not matter. So I hope the understanding of this is there and it will not come to this,\u201d Putin said.<\/p>\n

Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Szymon Szynkowski vel Sek indicated Monday that a decision by NATO to set up a no-fly zone over Ukraine would \u201cmean a large-scale military operation beyond the North Atlantic Alliance\u2019s borders,\u201d and be outside the bounds of legality.<\/p>\n

US and NATO-instituted no-fly zones were implemented against Iraq, Bosnia and Libya at various points between 1991 and 2019, with the Libya no-fly zone used as a justification for NATO forces to bomb Muammar Gaddafi loyalist forces in 2011. The operation ended with Gaddafi\u2019s overthrow, and Libya was turned into a failed state.<\/p>\n

The civil aviation organizations of the US and other countries prohibit or advise against flights in a number of other nations or regions, including eastern Ukraine and Crimea, North Korea, Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, Egypt\u2019s northern Sinai, northern Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, Mali and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.<\/p>\n
