Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned airlines that flying over Russian airspace will be dangerous due to Ukrainian drones. Zelensky stated that "Russian skies will be, in fact, closed."

Russian President Vladimir Putin reacted to these statements by classifying them as terrorism. Putin made this accusation against Ukraine in the context of Zelensky's threats.

The tension between the two countries intensifies with these cross statements, at a time when the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues. Zelensky's alerts arise as a direct threat to civil aviation operating in the region.
