‘Russian skies dangerous’: Zelenskyy warns airlines as Ukraine steps up drone attacks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned airlines and insurers that Russian airspace is becoming increasingly dangerous as Ukraine expands its long-range drone campaign deep inside Russia, saying the skies could “effectively be closing” as Ukrainian drones continue to operate over Russian territory.According to Reuters, Zelenskyy issued the warning in his nightly address on Tuesday, telling airlines that use Russian airspace, insurers and operators at key Russian airports that “the Russian sky is becoming completely dangerous.”“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,” Zelenskyy said. He stressed that Ukraine does not threaten civilian aviation but warned that “there will be drones in Russia's skies and due notice must be taken.”The warning comes as Ukraine intensifies its long-range drone campaign against targets deep inside Russia, including oil-related facilities.
