Why the U.S. and its NATO allies are reluctant to enact a no-fly zone around Ukraine (with VO)

The transcript discusses the debate over enforcing a no-fly zone in Ukraine, highlighting the challenges and risks involved. Experts argue that achieving air supremacy is difficult and may not significantly aid Ukraine, as current threats are mainly from artillery and missiles. Implementing a no-fly zone could escalate tensions, potentially leading to direct conflict between NATO and Russia, with nuclear weapons being a possible threat.
