Zelensky warns airlines that flying over Russia will be dangerous due to drones

Now1 September 2026 at 21:39

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned airlines that flying over Russian airspace will become increasingly dangerous due to the growing use of drones in military operations.

Zelensky made this statement in his daily address, where he stated that "Russian airspace is becoming extremely dangerous."

Despite the warning, Zelensky specified that civil aviation was not the target "in itself" of the drone operations, thus seeking to partially reassure the commercial aviation sector.

This warning comes in a context of intensifying aerial conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, with both parties using drones for military attacks.

A year after the tragedy at Glória, what is the future of the city's elevators?

One year after the derailment of the Glória Elevator that killed 16 people in Lisbon, Carris presented its vision for the future of the equipment: a new modern, accessible elevator with advanced safety technology, expected to be operational by 2029, with an international public tender scheduled for the first quarter of 2027. The Calçada da Glória will be requalified and will include a memorial to the victims at Largo da Oliveirinha, currently under construction. The remaining historic elevators in the city — Lavra, Bica and Santa Justa — remain closed, with no set date for reopening, while technical assessments are being carried out by the Independent Technical Commission. The cost of the new Elevator has not yet been estimated, but the funding will be defined in coordination with the Lisbon City Council.
