From WSJopinion: As the West hesitates to set up a no-fly zone, here’s an alternative that would put pressure on Russia, write Douglas J. Feith and John Hannah
People fleeing Ukraine stand at the Humanitarian Aid Center near the border in Przemysl, Poland, March 13.Russian forces are encircling Kyiv, and U.S. intelligence says the Ukrainian capital could run out of food and water in days. Having refused to establish a no-fly zone, President Biden needs more options to deal with enormous and urgent humanitarian needs. We propose an international airlift, organized and supported by the U.S.
At the same time, an airlift would counter Russia’s strategy to besiege the Ukrainian people, boost Ukrainian morale, and increase international efforts to aid Ukraine. Countries around the world can contribute humanitarian supplies. This would give them more to do to help Ukraine than simply vote for United Nations resolutions.
There are many obstacles to implementing this proposal, but little to no downside in a U.S. effort to promote it. This proposal doesn’t preclude efforts to arm the Ukrainians better, or eventually to establish a no-fly zone, but because the airlift is far less risky it should be more readily doable.
