Ukraine warned the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) about dangers in Russian airspace, citing the growing drone activity in the region. Kiev stated it was observing an "increase in military activity" that poses risks to civil aviation.
Russian President Vladimir Putin reacted to the alert by classifying it as a "declaration of state terrorism." This was Putin's response to the Ukrainian concern expressed before the international organization.
The warning sent to ICAO aims to raise awareness among the international community about the risks that Russian military activity, particularly the use of drones, poses to civilian aircraft operating near or within Russian airspace.
This episode occurs in the broader context of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, where military tensions remain high and incidents involving unmanned aircraft have become more frequent in the region.
