After Kiev's words, the UN agency for civil aviation calls for "protecting" aircraft

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), an agency of the United Nations based in Montreal, has called on all member states to 'protect civilian aircraft' from risks arising from conflict zones. This follows remarks by Kyiv highlighting the dangers posed by Russian airspace, which was officially notified by Ukraine as unsafe. The ICAO statement emphasizes the increasing risk of civilian aircraft being targeted or caught in fire exchanges, urging member states to assess and secure their controlled airspace. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Russian skies are now extremely dangerous due to Ukrainian drones, stating that civilian aviation has no place in a drone-infested sky. He accused Russia of using terror against civilians, while Russian President Vladimir Putin labeled the statement as 'state terrorism.'
