I do remember calls for a no-fly zone by the excellent Ukrainian PR work. I don't remember any significant calls for it by others, possibly in the form of forwarding the request. I do assume that it was obvious to most that a no-fly zone would imply killing Russian aircraft. Planes get shot down at borders in times of peace, so that might not to be that much of problem. However, to establish a minimum of safety for NATO aircraft enforcing a no-fly zone SAM sites on Russian soil would need to be disabled. Doing so would surely be considered crossing a border (literally an figuratively).
