Ukraine’s President Zelensky and his top officials have been calling for the US and NATO to impose a no-fly zone over the country. That would require American forces to shoot down Russian planes.
On Saturday, Russian President Putin issued a serious threat to any foreign power thinking of intervening.
Putin clearly stated that a no-fly zone would result in the Kremlin’s immediate declaration of war on any country intervening with a no-fly zone.
The AP reported and translated his comments made to Russian air forces service members as follows:
A no-fly-zone would spell war for any third party who tries to enforce one over Ukraine, Vladimir Putin has said.
Speaking at a meeting with female pilots on Saturday, Putin said Russia would view “any move in this direction” as an intervention that “will pose a threat to our service members.”
“That very second, we will view them as participants of the military conflict, and it would not matter what members they are,” the Russian president said.
He has also warned prior to this that nuclear war is on the table.
Additionally, he called sanctions an act of war.
Putin said on Saturday he wanted a neutral Ukraine that had been “demilitarized” and “denazified,” adding: “These sanctions that are being imposed are akin to a declaration of war but thank God it has not come to that.”
Earlier, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov accused the West of “economic banditry” and threatened to retaliate, without giving details.
Putin claims he is not violating the humanitarian corridors. They claim the nationalists [Nazis] are doing it. Who knows?

This is a pissing match between Russia and Ukraine, it concerns no one else, anyone interfering is subject to punishment with extreme prejudice.
The reason the US on both sides are so adamant about intervention in Russia/Ukraine affairs is because they don’t want the corrupt laundry cash cow to cease spilling into their coffers. Of all the most corrupt countries in the world, Ukraine ranks about 3rd or 4th from the bottom of the heap. Follow the money and you’ll have all the answers you want.
Ukraine has been an American Intel football for 30 years. America’s hands aren’t clean in Ukraine. Obviously, Putin has had enough. In just one year, Traitor Joe and his band of Communist Democrats have weekend America to the point that Nuclear War is now on the table. All Traitor Joe can do now is “give up” Europe and begin strengthening America to fight another day. Traitor Joe must Go and if Heels Up Harris won’t be an America First President, then The People will need to take her out also; and keep taking “Candidates” out until an America First President is found. Elections have Consequences; Stolen Elections have Deadly Consequences.
Traitor Joe has no real weapons in the present Limited War. All Traitor Joe can do is expand this War at this moment in time. Until America lowers the price of oil, we have no leverage over our enemies. If Russia goes far all out cyber warfare, the American economy will come to a hard stop. Especially the Financial Centers and in the greatly dependent Blue States and Cities. Grocery Shelves will be bare in two weeks after an all out Cyber War begins. Government has allowed High Tech to invest in quick profit 5G instead of hardened and EMP resistant Fiber Optics and the ability to disconnect America’s Internet Networks from the World.
The Old Rich, with the Help of Academia, is coming after the World, but these people live in an unrealistic universe. They have brought us two World Wars and Hundreds of Years of War in Continental Europe before that. In this War we need to gather up the Cowardly Rich and Academics and put them on the front lines. If they want to stop Putin then they need to spill their blood. Putin is actually going after the WEF Elites, not the Common Man and Middle Class. Putin isn’t our enemy, the WEF Elites, Academia, Traitor Joe, and Communist Democrats are!
