"The Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs today reiterated to me the Ukrainian state's request for NATO allies to be able to shoot down Russian drones and missiles before they violate our airspace," said Radosław Sikorski at a press conference.

"Please ask the military for details, but a certain operational limitation for our pilots is the concern not to harm anyone on the ground. Meanwhile, Ukraine asks us that if something is clearly approaching our borders and poses a direct threat to us, we could do it over their territory. I emphasize, this is a Ukrainian request; no decisions have been made," he continued.
