In Germany, NATO countries are being proposed to assist in shooting down drones over Ukraine to alleviate the burden on Ukrainian air defense, reports the German publication FAZ.

Experts from the Munich Security Conference, including Niko Lange and former assistant NATO Secretary General Horst-Heinrich Braus, suggest that deploying air defense systems in Poland and Romania could create a secure zone up to 70 kilometers wide.

Several German political parties support this proposition. They argue that the involvement of neighboring countries' air defense systems would aid Ukraine without directly engaging NATO countries in the conflict.

Roderich Kiesewetter, a member of the opposition Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party, emphasizes that such support would relieve pressure on Ukrainian air defense, allowing it to focus on protecting the front lines. He also points out that providing assistance does not automatically make states parties to the conflict, citing Israel as an example.
