Poland is calling for a no-fly zone over Ukraine and as a result Russia has threatened all-out war with NATO if this was to be implemented.
Poland has called for a no-fly zone as drones continue to “violate” their airspace, such a move would involve NATO shooting down Russian drones and missiles over Ukraine.
Poland’s foreign minister Radosław Sikorski wants NATO to start shooting down missiles and drones over Ukraine.
The former Russian president warned, “Seriously, the implementation of the provocative idea of Kyiv and other idiots about creating a ‘no-fly zone’ over Ukraine, and the ability for NATO countries to shoot down our UAVs, will mean only one thing – a war between NATO and Russia.”

Sikorski said shooting down aerial targets over Ukraine “will be beneficial” for the West.
Speaking to Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeritung, Sikorski said, “We need to think about this.
“Technically, we, as NATO and the EU, would be capable of doing this, but it is not a decision that Poland can make alone, only together with its allies.”
Last Wednesday three out of 24 Russian drones were shot down when they flew into Polish airspace.
Sikorski said, “Putin has possibly brought forward this idea because we manage our space together, and opinion is shifting towards this idea.”
Vladimir Putin ordered the long-rage strategic nuclear capable bombers, Tu-22M3 to fly over the Barents Sea sending a warning to the NATO.
On Sunday NATO fighter jets were scrambled as a a Russian drone “violated” Polish airspace yet again.
A Russian drone also “breached” Romanian “airspace” and Romania fighter jets were scrambled on Saturday evening.
Romania is now the latest NATO member state to report “breaches of airspace” by Russian drones following NATO fighter jets shooting down drone over Poland last Wednesday which was the first time the West engaged directly against Moscow.
The Ukrainian President has warned that Vladimir Putin is starting his “expansion of the war” has Russian drones “violated” Polish airspace once again including Romania.
Volodymyr Zelensky said that Romania scrambled F-16 fighter jets after a Russian drone flew into their airspace whilst Russian forces were targeting Ukrainian infrastructure overnight.
Zelensky warned that these violations are not isolated and Russia “knows exactly” where their drones are heading and how long they can stay up within their flight time.
