Press Secretary rejected calls Monday for the U.S. to impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine by citing the risk it could draw the U.S. in a direct conflict with nuclear-armed Russia.
Psaki was asked about the proposal in an interview with MSNBC following reports that Ukrainian President Volodymyr had directly asked President to impose one. She ruled out the idea as a risky escalation.
'What that would require is implementation by the U.S. military. It would essentially mean the U.S. military would be shooting down planes – Russian planes. That is definitely escalatory, and would potentially put us in a place in a military conflict with Russia. That is not something the president wants to do.'
