"One of the biggest blows" against Putin: Ukraine may "significantly compromise air activity" in Russia's two main cities

CNN Portugal3 September 2026 at 08:00

Ukraine may significantly compromise air activity in Russia's two main cities, Moscow and Saint Petersburg, in a move that is being described as one of the biggest blows against the Kremlin. President Zelensky identified specific targets for this operation.

Among the targets identified by Zelensky are the airlines that use Russian airspace, all insurers and those who still operate in the main Russian airports. The objective is to economically pressure all sectors linked to aviation in the country.

The effects of this operation have already started to be felt, with visible impact on Russian air operations. The strategy aims to isolate Russia from international air transport and complicate the operations of companies that still maintain activity in the country.
