In the latest information reaching out, President Zelenskyy had called out to the leaders of NATO on the imposition of a no-fly-zone in Ukraine, an attempt to provide safety to the civilians against the Russians fighter jets, a request which made President Putin counter back that, “imposition of a no-fly-zone is tantamount to obstructing the military operation exercise in Ukraine”, an act which Putin perceived as a threat to his demilitarization activities in Ukraine, and countries imposing such act, will have to take on Putin’s men militarily.
The call by President Zelenskyy has aroused the attention of people on the context of the “no-fly-zone”, its imposition, implications and effects, and the world view on the conflict. In a bid to create detailed reports, Forsige had taken an in-depth analysis on the implication of the no-fly zone between Russia and the imposing country.
Understanding No-Fly-Zone
According to the National World Report “A no-fly-zone is an area where aircraft are restricted from flying, normally for security reasons which are often used in war zones to stop an aggressor flying military aircraft over its own land In a bid to protect civilians, military targets, as well as carrying out surveillance.”
The imposition of a no-fly-zone will deny access to any unauthorized fighter jets transgressing over the sky of the impostors, as the end result of it will be a shot down, the forceful landing of any fighter jets found violating the law.
What Is The Implication Of The No-Fly-Zone In Ukraine?
According to the Secretary-general of NATO, the imposition of a no-fly zone in Ukraine meant the presence of NATO fighter jets in Ukraine as a bid in protecting the interest of its members. According to him, he has reiterated the impossibilities of imposing the cover the sky, as it would bring the NATO forces into the clash with the Russian force. He said that NATO had been looking for every possible means to deescalate the crisis going beyond Ukraine.
According to military strategists, to impose a no-fly-zone in Ukraine means, NATO fighter jets would be in direct conflict with Russian owns which could ultimately be forced to shoot one down, and could start a direct war between Russia and the NATO countries.
President Biden in his public address of the Ukrainian conflict had asserted that USA and NATO would not send their military to Ukraine to fight, as they continue to seek an end to a possible breakout of World War3. The implication of the no-fly zone would mean a direct affront to the Russians which could possibly result in an outbreak of an imminent international war.
The Controversy Of A No-Fly-Zone
Imposing a no-fly zone is controversial because it requires countries not directly involved in a war to become semi-involved, without committing to forces on the ground.
A no-fly zone is controversial because of its advantages and likewise its defect, it can protect civilians, and can be enforced by shooting down planes that enter the zone, while its defect is a confrontational military exercise against the Russians which could spark up devastating reactions from the opposing sides.
NATO Sec general added that “we are not part of this conflict, we have a responsibility as NATO allies to prevent this war from escalating beyond Ukraine because that would be even more dangerous, more devastating and could cause even more human suffering.”
