Zelenskyy: Some airlines begin cancelling flights to Russia
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says several airlines have started cancelling flights to Russian airports following Ukraine's warnings about growing dangers to civil aviation in Russian airspace.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that a number of airlines have decided to cancel flights to Russian airports. The move follows repeated warnings from Ukraine about the increasing risk to civil aircraft flying through Russian airspace.
According to Zelenskyy, the situation in Russian airspace is becoming more dangerous, prompting some carriers to avoid routes to Russia altogether in order to reduce risk to passengers and crew.
The development suggests that Ukraine's safety warnings are beginning to influence decisions made by international airlines regarding routes to Russia. The source report did not specify which airlines have halted these flights or provide further detail on the nature of the danger.
