As, Russia's invasion of Ukraine reaches its 10th day, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Moscow would consider any third-pa🔴rty declaration of a no-fly zone over Ukraine as “participation in the armed conflict.”
Speaking at a meeting with female pilots on Saturday, Putin said Russia would view “any move in this direction” as an intervention that "will pose a threat to our service member꧟s.”
“That very second, we will view them as participants of the military conflict, and it would not matterಌ what members they ar🎐e,” the Russian president said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has pushed N𒐪ATO to impose a no-fly zone over his country, warning that “all the people who die from this day forward will also die because of you” as Russian forces were battering strategic locations in Ukraine.
NATO has said a no-fly zone, which would bar♊ all unauthorised aircraft from flying over Ukraine, could provoke widespread war in Europe with nuclear-armed Russia.
