How far will it go? Russia attacks western Ukraine as aid remains blocked

THE DEBATE © FRANCE 24

We examine the role played by Western allies in the Ukraine conflict. We're asking: what will NATO do next? There was more destruction in and around Kyiv this Tuesday. So what will NATO do? It's a question many observers are asking. Most importantly, it's the only question people in Ukraine want answered.

From civilians under fire to President Volodymyr Zelensky himself, the call has been the same: for a no-fly zone. So far, NATO has refused point blank. Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg speaks for the Alliance with his flat refusal to close the sky over Ukraine. But now with a Russian air strike just 60 kilometres from the border of Poland, a NATO member state, the hypothetical question becomes more real. Will NATO strike back?

What about the civilians who are being targeted by Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine? Who will protect them? Arms are being supplied by the US and the UK, via Poland – all NATO members. But this is not stopping the Russian bombardment. Our panel discuss NATO's evolving role in the Ukraine crisis.

Produced by Alessandro Xenos, Juilette Laurain and Léopoldine Iribarren.
