Psaki: US not plan to establish no-fly zone over Ukraine

The White House again avoided making a commitment to creating a no-fly zone over combat-battered Ukraine, fearing "a potential direct war with Russia," Report informs, citing New York Post.

"The no-fly zone requires implementation," press secretary Jen Psaki said when asked if President Biden or his advisers have given such a zone more thought.

"It would require, essentially, the US military shooting down Russian planes and causing or prompting a potential direct war with Russia — the exact step that we want to avoid."
