00:00Poland's foreign minister is urging NATO to consider a no-fly zone over Ukraine,

00:05an idea Russia immediately condemned as a direct path to war.

00:11In an interview with a German news outlet,

00:14Radislav Sikorsky said the move could help protect both Ukraine

00:18and neighboring countries from Russian drone strikes.
