Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned international airlines about the danger of flying over Russian airspace, classifying it as "extremely dangerous." The alert comes in the context of armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Zelensky assured that civilian aviation is not an intentional target of Ukrainian forces. However, he warned that Ukrainian drones will continue to operate in Russian airspace as long as the war persists.
The situation represents a significant risk for commercial airlines that regularly use routes over Russian territory. The Ukrainian President's warning aims to inform the aviation industry about the increased dangers in that airspace.
This alert falls within the broader context of the war between Russia and Ukraine, which has already caused significant impacts on civilian aviation in the region. The recommendation suggests that airlines consider alternative routes to avoid the air conflict zone.
