"NATO can shoot down Russian missiles flying over Ukrainian airspace", Ukrainian President Zelensky said in an interview with the New York Times on May 21.He stressed that this is just a purely defensive tactic and will not cause the risk of direct war with the Russian army.
"So my question is: why can't NATO shoot it down? Is this an attack on Russian territory? Will it shoot down Russian aircraft and kill Russian pilots? Neither. What is the problem? Will NATO be dragged into the war? This problem will never happen," Zelensky said.
He called on NATO to provide Ukraine with more F-16 fighters and Patriot air defense systems.According to the prediction of the Ukrainian head of state, NATO leaders will make relevant decisions when they hold a summit in Washington in July.
"For a country that is fighting for freedom and democracy in the world today, we hope to get seven patriot systems. Do you think this is too much for NATO, which is holding its anniversary summit in Washington?" Zelensky asked the New York Times reporter.
Zelensky believes that the main reason why the West hesitates is that the fear of war escalating into nuclear war has been exaggerated.Zelensky believed that Putin would avoid using nuclear weapons just to protect himself."He may not be rational, but he loves his life very much. Why did he destroy everything by himself?" Zerensky added.
