"He is testing NATO," Zelenskyy said, answering what message he thinks Putin is sending to Europeans. "He wants to see what NATO is ready for, what it is capable of, both diplomatically and politically, and how the local population will react to it."
"Also, in my opinion, another message they are sending is: 'Don't dare to give Ukraine additional air defense systems, because you might need them yourselves,'" Zelenskyy noted.
Recall
The General Staff of Poland announced the start of the NATO mission "Eastern Guardian" to strengthen its eastern flank after Russian drones fell in Poland.
