Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has issued a warning that Russia's airspace is becoming unsafe for commercial airlines. He stated that the aviation industry should consider the increasing number of Ukrainian attack drones operating within Russia.
Zelenskyy clarified there is no intention to directly threaten civilian flights. He specifically warned airlines, insurers, and those using Russia's key airports that Russian airspace is becoming "completely unsafe."
Ukraine's commercial airspace has been closed since February 2022 due to the full-scale invasion, which made airports unsafe for civilians.
