Mr. Chair, the Secretary General has been speaking, I think, for the vast majority of allies in expressing enormous concern at the possibility of a no-fly zone. Leaders of some of our largest allies, including the American president, have been very clear on this point as well.
The concern is that, if NATO were to be involved in the enforcement of a no-fly zone over Ukraine, first of all it would involve putting our service personnel in a position where they would risk interacting with Russian personnel linked to that. Second, it would create a situation where there was a very significant risk of escalation, so alliance leaders have been quite clear that enforcement of a no-fly zone is not something that is being considered at the moment.
