Only a closed sky over the country will help to stop the war in Ukraine and minimize the problems of the civilian population. Mykhailo Podoliak, an adviser to the head of the President's Office, emphasized this at a briefing in the Lviv Regional State Administration.
I want everyone, including foreign journalists, to focus on the main thing:
"If we want to stop the war, if we want to avoid civilian difficulties to the extent that we already have, we need to talk about the need for closed sky. That there were no cruise missiles and strike aircraft in the sky. If we solve this issue within one In two days, you will see how not only the negotiating positions in Ukraine, but the situation in the country in general will change significantly," said the adviser to the Head of the OP.
According to him, this will reduce panic in the country, because "people will know that it will not fall from the sky", and will help to focus on ground operations of the Russian Federation, which, according to Podoliak, are predictable.
We remind, that closing of the sky means that the sky is patrolled by military aircraft, airspace is protected by air defense systems. When the sky is closed, all military planes that fly into the closed area are shot down. US congressmen Gerald Connolly and Mike Turner have asked President Joe Biden to close the sky over Ukraine, and a petition to NATO has gathered the required a million votes. But there is no solution yet.
