Military Expert: NATO Cannot Intercept Russian Missiles Over Ukraine

Polish military expert Robert Bżożka has stated that NATO's air defense systems cannot intercept Russian missiles over Ukraine without becoming a party to the conflict, which would have significant consequences.

In an interview with Novosti, Bżożka emphasized that NATO member countries bordering Ukraine—Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, and Poland—are bound by NATO regulations to consult within the alliance before undertaking any military operations, especially on foreign soil.

He explained that any country attempting to intercept a missile over Ukrainian territory would become involved in the conflict, expressing confidence that neither NATO nor its member states would take such actions.

Bżożka added, "NATO does not plan to enter the war, and without such a commitment, no one would dare to involve themselves in the conflict on their own accord."

Earlier, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski told the Financial Times that neighboring countries of Ukraine, despite NATO objections, are "obliged" to intercept Russian missiles approaching their airspace before they enter.
