He noted that the question of closing the Ukrainian sky is better to ask those NATO countries that have the means to perform such a task. Unfortunately, the Baltic States do not have such. However, he said, “every week” the allies return to the issue and consider it.

“And I can't imagine us discussing the partial closure of the skies over Ukraine and not thinking about covering the space over the country's many nuclear facilities,” Nauseda said, adding that NATO could cooperate with international organizations. in the field of nuclear energy.
