Germany has officially rejected the proposal to establish a NATO-enforced no-fly zone over Ukraine, despite calls from some German lawmakers advocating for measures to counter incoming Russian drones and missiles. The idea, which suggested utilizing NATO air defenses from neighboring countries like Poland and Romania, faced criticism from the head of the Social Democratic Party of Germany, who argued it would contradict NATO's principle of non-aggression. A government spokesperson reaffirmed Germany's stance against the no-fly zone, emphasizing that the country's position remains unchanged despite renewed requests. Additionally, some MPs proposed a 70km NATO air defense zone around Ukraine, a suggestion deemed risky by top German MP Rolf Mutzenich.
