EU states discuss air protection zone 'Sky Shield' for Ukraine | DW News

European military experts have presented a plan that could offer Ukraine protection from Russian missile and drone attacks. Called 'Sky Shield,' it involves deploying a European force of 120 fighter jets to protect Kyiv and western Ukraine from Russian air strikes. The initiative proposes covering three of Ukraine's operating nuclear power plants and the cities of Odesa and Lviv, but not the frontline or Ukraine's east. Its authors stress that Sky Shield would be an explicitly Europe-led air protection zone operated separately from NATO.
