UNITED NATIONS — President Trump said Tuesday that NATO member countries should shoot down Russian aircraft that enter their airspace, in his boldest statement yet against the Kremlin as the Ukraine war rages on. 

“Yes, I do,” Mr. Trump said when asked about the possibility of a NATO shootdown during his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly. 

When asked if the U.S. would back up its NATO allies if one of them shoots down a Russian jet, Mr. Trump responded, “depends.” He did not elaborate, but Article 5 of the NATO charter states that should a member of the alliance be attacked, all members will “take the actions it deems necessary” to assist. 

The president’s comments suggest that he may be open to more direct ways to confront Russian aggression beyond sending weapons to Ukraine. In another shift, Mr. Trump also said Tuesday that he thinks Ukraine can win the war. 

Russia has been accused of breaching the airspace of NATO’s eastern flank members, Poland and Romania, with drones, and Estonia with fighter jets. 

Earlier Tuesday, NATO warned Russia that it would use all means to defend itself from an incursion of Russian fighter jets or drones. Russia has rejected claims that it is intentionally violating other nations’ airspace.
