Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has proposed that the United States consider a special format to protect Ukrainian skies, following discussions with US President Donald Trump and European leaders. This initiative aims to enhance the security of Ukrainian airspace amid escalating tensions with Russia.
The proposal outlines the need for a dedicated air defense framework that would integrate advanced monitoring systems and international cooperation to deter potential threats. Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of safeguarding Ukrainian airspace as a critical component of national security, especially in light of recent military activities in the region.
European leaders have expressed support for the initiative, recognizing the strategic significance of securing air routes and protecting civilian aviation. The White House has indicated that the United States is reviewing the proposal and is in discussions with its allies to assess the feasibility of implementing such a protocol.
