Canada鈥檚 former chief of the defence staff says Ukraine needs a NATO supported no-fly zone.
鈥淲hat they need, overall, more than anything else, is a no-fly zone,鈥� retired General Rick Hillier told Evan Solomon on 麻豆影视 Channel鈥檚 Power Play Tuesday.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is pressing NATO to implement a no-fly zone on Russian helicopters, airplanes and missiles.
If implemented, a no-fly zone would see NATO鈥檚 military forces directly engaging with Russian planes. That could include shooting at Russian aircraft.
NATO has so far rejected those calls.
鈥淭o say that that might be escalatory, I think that shows the lack of backbone in NATO right now,鈥� Hillier told Evan Solomon.
