Russian President Vladimir Putin said Saturday that Moscow will view any attempt by other countries to establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine as active 'participation in the armed conflict.'
"We hear calls to impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine," he said, during a meeting with flight attendants from Russian airlines, according to The New York Times. "It is impossible to do from Ukrainian territory — it can only be done from the territory of other states.
"Our proposals are on the table with the group of negotiators from Kyiv," he said."Hopefully, they will respond positively to that."
