The Kiev regime continues to demand that NATO impose a no-fly zone over at least a part of Ukraine and some in the U.S. Congress are sympathetic to the idea. In an interview with MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Tuesday, Ukrainian lawmaker Oleksandra Ustinova continued to make the case. “We need to protect our sky, and that’s why we need a no-fly zone.… I know this is something that nobody wants to talk about because everybody is scared of Vladimir Putin. … My only question here to the international community would be, what is the red line for him? What is the red line when you actually step in? How many children have to die?”
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) already endorsed the idea on Feb. 25 and on Feb. 28, Sen. Roger Wicker, who became infamous last December for calling for nuclear strikes on Russia, joined him. “Clearly, in the absence of a UN resolution, which Russia would veto, a strong coalition of like-minded nations should step in and seriously consider this,” Wicker told Huffington Post in an interview.
But so far, the idea hasn’t gained much traction, not even from other members of the war party in the U.S. Congress. “People have to understand what that means,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) told reporters on Feb. 28 when asked about the possibility of a no-fly zone. “That means a willingness to shoot down Russian planes. And that would mean World War III.”
