Every night, waves of hundreds of Russian-made Iranian Shahed drones and missiles kill Ukrainian civilians. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, more than 40,000 long-range missiles or drones have struck the country.

According to the latest data from the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, 13,883 Ukrainian civilians have been killed and 35,548 injured - and this only considers the liberated territories.

Since the Trump - Putin meeting in Alaska, Russian strikes have only grown in intensity. Hundreds gave been killed and on the 28th of August alone, a massive attack which killed over 25 civilians including 4 children.

93% of the missiles strikes deliberately target civilian infrastructure: 2,200 attacks against healthcare facilities, more than 3,800 damaged schools, at least 600 cultural sites and 300 churches hit, the electrical grid and district heating systems deliberately targeted during winter, water distribution pumps attacked, supermarkets and hotels destroyed... The Russians aim to make normal life in Ukraine impossible by deliberately striking illegitimate targets.

As we face these Ukrainian families who suffer, die, and plead for our help, Europe and the world cannot stand idle. We therefore call on our government to implement the "Skyshield" initiative, supported by elected officials, former Generals and Admirals, and members of the civil society from across France, the United Kingdom and Europe.

Why SkyShield?

The defence of Ukraine's sky must involve two dimensions:

• The deployment of equipment directly in Ukraine, including radars and interception systems
• The organisation of aerial patrols by aircraft based in neighbouring countries such as Poland or Romania

These forces would remain far from the frontline, several hundred kilometres away, avoiding any direct confrontation with Russian aviation. Their role would be limited to intercepting missiles and drones targeting civilians in the rear areas.

By supporting SkyShield, our nations will reaffirm their sovereignty, they will embrace their historical mission to protect a European country being massacred in the name of imperialism, and they will rise to the importance of this challenge, in this crucial moment for the security of our entire continent.

Beyond the moral duty to support a suffering people, this operation would contribute to a real and lasting peace. Since Russia has failed to conquer Ukraine militarily, it seeks instead to achieve the moral collapse of Ukrainian civil society. By implementing SkyShield, Putin will realize that this second objective is equally unattainable, thereby bringing us closer to a ceasefire and, ultimately, peace.
