NATO is confronted with pressure for Ukraine no-fly zone, because Trump is looking for a peace agreement

State Secretary Marco Rubio said that Tuesday President Donald Trump and the Ukrainian President VolodyMyr Zelenskyy could meet next week on the sidelines of the UN general meeting in New York City.

The meeting increases as NATO increases to prevent Russia to prevent a no-fly zone over Ukraine, because Poland wants to prevent more Russian drones from entering its airspace.

“President Trump [has had] Multiple calls with Putin, several meetings with Zenskyy, including probably next week in New York, “said Rubio reporters from Israel just before he left for Qatar.” He tries to do everything possible [the war] Until an end. ”

“We worked closely with our partners in Europe on security guarantees, because it is necessary in a negotiated scheme,” he added. “And he keeps trying. If peace is possible, he wants to achieve this.”

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland, Radoslaw Sikorski, called on NATO allies on Monday to enforce a no-fly zone over Ukraine to better protect Ukrainians against the constant air bombing of Russia, but neighboring NATO all-rounds who share boundaries with the war.

“We as NATO and the EU can do this, but it is not a decision that Poland can take alone,” Sikorski told the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine. “It can only be made with its allies.”

The movement is it is unlikely approved by NATOwho previously refused to enforce a no-fly zone after the US, under President Joe Biden, rejected the request of Zenskyy in 2022 for the first time.

“If Ukraine would ask us to shoot them on his territory, that would be beneficial to us. If you ask me personally, we should consider it,” Sikorski said.

Russian officials have already made it clear that they would consider NATO attacks against Russian drones and rockets to support Ukraine as a direct involvement in the war.

“The implementation of the provocative idea of ​​Kiev and other idiots about creating a ‘no-fly zone above Ukraine’ and the ability of NATO countries to shoot our UAVs means only one thing-a war between NATO and Russia,” said deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry-Post.

Trump has seen increasing pressure at home and from Western allies, including Ukraine, to adopt a more difficult attitude when it comes to combating Russian President Vladimir Putin. On various occasions, Trump threatened to touch Moscow with sanctions, although he still has to use the financial tool since he goes back to the office, despite a series of deadlines he has spent on Putin who came and gone.

Rubio said that at some point Trump can conclude that a peace agreement with Putin is not possible, but told reporters on Tuesday that “he is not there yet.”

“The only leader in the world who can talk to both the Ukrainians, Europeans and the Russians is President Trump,” said Rubio. “He is not going to lose that role easily.

“If he would somehow come loose, or you know, sanctioning Russia and say,” I’m ready “, then there is no one in the world who could possibly mediate the end,” Rubio added. “Now we may come to that point – we don’t hope, because it is a really bad war and he wants it to end.”
