STEPANAKERT, MARCH 9, ARTSAKHPRESS: Briefing reporters en route to Texas, Jen Psaki said such a move would still require shooting down Russian planes if they fly into the zone, even if it covered a smaller area.

"We would still have concerns about that being an escalatory action that could lead us into a war with Russia, which is not something the [US] president intends to do," she said.
