The president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, warned that Russian airspace "is not safe" and called on international airlines to stop operating flights to Russia. The warning comes at a time of growing tension in the region.
The main reason presented by Zelensky for this alert is the "increase in military activity" in Russian territory, which represents a risk for civil aviation that continues to fly over the area.
Airlines are urged to reconsider their routes and prioritize the safety of passengers, avoiding flying over Russian airspace until the situation normalizes.
This warning from the Ukrainian president fits into a broader context of deteriorating relations and increased military operations in the region, which has been worrying the international community and the aviation sector.
