Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev warned on Monday that establishing a no-fly zone over Ukraine would trigger a war between NATO and Russia. Calls for the alliance to protect Ukrainian skies have increased after Russian drones violated the Polish and Romanian airspace last week. Medvedev also threatened the European Union over proposals to use frozen Russian assets for financial support to Ukraine. “If this happens, Russia will persecute the EU states … until the end of time,” he claimed, adding that Moscow will take the case to “all possible international and national courts,” and that it could also fight the EU “in some cases, out of court,” without providing further explanations.

Kremlin: NATO is de facto at war with Russia
Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov insisted on Mohttps://youtu.be/mdoqxhwWRfwnday that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is de facto in a war with Russia through its continued military support for Ukraine. “This is obvious and does not require any additional evidence,” Peskov said at a press conference. Russia has been accusing the alliance of being involved in the conflict in Ukraine ever since it started sending military assistance to Kiev. Peskov’s newest comment followed Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski’s remark that NATO is not in a war with Russia despite Moscow’s drone intrusion into his country’s territory. Meanwhile, the organization pledged to boost its presence in the eastern flank.
