Zelenskiy asks airlines to avoid Russian airspace due to increased drone attacks

The article reports that Ukraine's President Volodimir Zelenski has warned civilian airlines to avoid Russian airspace due to increased drone attacks by Ukrainian forces. He described Russian airspace as 'effectively closed' and 'absolutely unsafe,' attributing this to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Zelenski emphasized that while Ukraine does not target civilian aviation directly, the presence of drones in Russian skies poses a significant threat. He called on airlines, insurers, and diplomats to take note of the situation, particularly those operating from major Russian airports like Moscow and St. Petersburg. The president also stated that the conflict has led to a shift where Russian airspace is now being used by Ukrainian drones and missiles as part of legitimate defense against the war initiated by Russia. Zelenski reiterated Ukraine's commitment to peace and support for diplomatic efforts to end the war.
