He said this in an interview with LRT.According to Ruge, the Alliance is focused on protecting the territory and airspace of its allies."Currently, there are no intentions to shoot down drones or ballistic missiles in Ukrainian airspace that are approaching our airspace. Individual states are proposing to do this, but we have not yet made such a decision," he said.When asked to explain this position, the NATO Assistant Secretary General said that the Alliance's position is to protect its own airspace and territory."We provide enormous support to Ukraine. Just recently, the Germans handed over additional Patriot systems. So, we are helping Ukraine to defend itself. It is very difficult, but we are constantly making efforts to send Ukraine equipment to protect against Russian air strikes," Ruge added.
