Zelenskyy Warns Russian Airspace Unsafe Amid Increased Ukrainian Drone Activity
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned airlines, insurers, and passengers that Russian airspace has become increasingly unsafe due to intensified Ukrainian drone activity amid ongoing conflict. He urged caution, emphasizing Ukraine does not target civilian aircraft but that drones will continue operating over Russia, effectively closing its skies. Zelenskyy called on international partners to heed the warning to prevent civilian casualties. Russian President Vladimir Putin condemned the warning as "state terrorism." The escalation follows intensified Russian missile strikes on Ukrainian cities and Ukraine's drone attacks on Russian military and economic targets.
