Russia's Defense Ministry is calling for the use of airstrips by Ukraine's Air Force in other countries

Any country that offers its airfields to Ukraine for attacks on Russia can be considered to have entered the conflict, a Russian Defense Ministry spokesman said today.

"The use of these countries' airport networks as a base for Ukrainian military aircraft and their subsequent use against the Russian armed forces can be seen as the involvement of these states in an armed conflict," spokesman Igor Konashenkov said, according to the Interfax news agency.

A few hours earlier in a televised message, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky once again called on his Western allies to hand over warplanes.

Responding to Zelensky's request, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said Washington was "actively working" on a deal with Poland to send those fighters.
