Ukrainian Drones Effectively Close Russian Airspace, Warns Zelenskiy
Ukrainian Drone Activity and Its Impact on Russian Airspace
Zelenskiy’s Warning to Airlines and Insurers
Sept 1 (Reuters) – Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy warned airlines and insurance companies on Tuesday that the presence of Ukrainian drones had made Russian skies dangerous to use and were effectively closed.
“Today, we want to warn every airline that uses Russian airspace, every insurer, everyone who still uses key Russian airports: the Russian sky is becoming completely dangerous,” Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address.
Implications for Civil Aviation
Ukraine poses no threat to civil aviation, he said, “but there will be drones in Russia’s skies and due notice must be taken”.
Russian Authorities’ Response
“Although Russian authorities are not properly announcing it, Russian airspace will effectively be closing. The war started by Russia is closing its own skies,” Zelenskiy added.
Escalation of Air Attacks and Drone Strikes
Russia has stepped up its air attacks on Kyiv and other cities in recent weeks, with Moscow’s latest strike killing 12 people and injuring many more, the sixth straight day of intense assaults on the Ukrainian capital.
Ukraine has responded with frequent drone strikes on Russian targets, many associated with the country’s oil industry as well as retail sites.
