Zelenskyy Warns Global Insurers Over Dangerous Russian Skies

Ukraine's president warned commercial aviation that Russian airspace is deeply unsafe due to a massive drone blitz.

Citing an unprecedented expansion of long-range drone capabilities, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued a stark warning to international commercial airlines and insurance conglomerates. Zelenskyy stated that Russian airspace has officially become "completely dangerous" for civilian transit. While clarifying that Ukrainian military forces do not intentionally target civilian aircraft, he emphasized that Kyiv's heavy aerial campaign deep inside Russian territory will continue unabated. Aviation experts fear that without proper route re-allocations, commercial flights risk catastrophic friendly-fire incidents similar to historical downings, throwing global logistics into further disarray as international insurers begin withdrawing coverage for regional routes.
