Ukraine's President, Volodymyr Zelensky, announced that Russia's airspace is closed. The information was highlighted by The Kyiv Independent newspaper as one of the main news stories.
Zelensky issued alerts directed at airlines, insurers and foreign governments about the dangers in Russian skies. The Ukrainian president reported that the situation is due to intense Ukrainian drone activity in the region.
The decision to close Russian airspace comes amid the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, which has already lasted more than two years. The measure aims to protect civilians and international air operations from the risks associated with the conflict.
