Former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander, NATO, General Sir Richard Shirreff warned if NATO countries were to get involved in the Ukraine-Russia conflict or if a no fly zone was imposed, it would be the start of World War Three. Speaking to Sky News, Sir Richard said: “If Britain and other NATO countries got involved directly in fighting in Ukraine that is a start of a third world war, no question about it. Similarly, if any attempt to impose a no fly zone would guarantee a start of a third world war.
“It is a brutal fact of life that Ukraine is not a member of NATO and therefore is not covered by the guarantee of collective defence that says an attack on one is an attack on all.
“The very best NATO can do now is stop any form of expansion of the war by defending NATO territory, demonstrating that it is prepared to fight to the teeth to defend NATO territory.
“But also to continue to support Ukraine undirectly with weapons, equipment and other capabilities as well and potentially help prepare the Ukrainians to fight underground if it comes to that.”
