Since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, President Zelenskyy has all but begged for NATO and the U.S. to establish a no-fly zone over his country’s airspace to prevent the Russian air force from establishing air dominance over the country.

We invited retired Air Force Lt Gen David Deptula [a UVA alumnus] to give us his views on whether such a no-fly zone could be established and what it would take in terms of air assets.
