at the same time, it should increase support for Kyiv with the means to strike Russian targets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Details of the application<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>According to R\u00f6vekamp, NATO's air defence should expand its capabilities to counter massive drone attacks. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The best way to combat UAVs is to destroy Russia's production facilities and launchers; partners should quickly equip Ukraine to strike such targets. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coordination within the Alliance is needed: with Ukraine's consent, it should be possible to neutralise drones that threaten NATO territory, even in its airspace. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Context.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has repeatedly called on the West to create a no-fly zone or shoot down drones, but key NATO powers, including Germany and the United States, have rejected this because of the risk of direct involvement in war. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Against the backdrop of recent Russian attacks, dozens of drones have been reported to have violated Polish airspace and their wreckage has been found. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius avoided a direct response to the downing of Russian UAVs over Ukraine. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why it matters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The proposal reinforces the concept of integrated air defence of Ukraine and NATO neighbours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Politically, it is a test of the limits of Alliance engagement and Berlin's willingness to expand assistance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In practice, this could mean faster provision of weapons and additional air defence systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What's next<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A discussion within NATO is expected on the legal and operational mechanisms for engaging in drone neutralisation and further steps by Germany to strengthen its support for Ukraine.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0429\u043e \u0441\u0442\u0430\u043b\u043e\u0441\u044f \u0413\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0432\u0430 \u043e\u0431\u043e\u0440\u043e\u043d\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e \u043a\u043e\u043c\u0456\u0442\u0435\u0442\u0443 \u0411\u0443\u043d\u0434\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0430\u0433\u0443 \u0422\u043e\u043c\u0430\u0441 \u0420\u044c\u043e\u0432\u0435\u043a\u0430\u043c\u043f \u0437\u0430\u044f\u0432\u0438\u0432, \u0449\u043e \u041d\u0410\u0422\u041e \u043c\u0430\u0454 \u0434\u0456\u044f\u0442\u0438 \u0440\u0456\u0448\u0443\u0447\u0456\u0448\u0435 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0442\u0438 \u043c\u0430\u0441\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0445 \u0430\u0442\u0430\u043a \u0420\u0424 \u0456 \u0437\u0431\u0438\u0432\u0430\u0442\u0438 \u0431\u0435\u0437\u043f\u0456\u043b\u043e\u0442\u043d\u0438\u043a\u0438 \u043d\u0430\u0434 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u043e\u044e;
