Ukraine has offered to build a joint aerial defence shield with its allies to protect against threats from Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sept 29, after a series of airspace incursions that caused alarm on Nato’s eastern flank.

Nato leaders have said that Russia has been testing the alliance’s readiness and resolve with airspace incursions in Poland and the Baltic states, and Kyiv says its experience in dealing with aerial threats would be valuable.

“Ukraine proposes to Poland and all our partners to build a joint fully reliable shield against Russian aerial threats,” he said in an address to the Warsaw Security Forum delivered via video link.
