Ukraine sent an official notification declaring that Russian airspace is not safe for civil aviation. This decision comes in a context of growing tension between the two countries.
Volodymyr Zelensky had previously warned airlines about the dangers of operating in Russian airspace. The Ukrainian president specifically pointed to the presence of Ukrainian drones in the region as a risk factor.
The notification represents a formal warning to the international community about the dangers associated with flying over Russian territory during the ongoing conflict.
Ukrainian authorities urged all air operators to avoid Russian airspace, thereby reinforcing the security recommendations previously issued.
