## Resource

Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy has issued a stark warning to airlines and insurers: Russian airspace is now dangerously volatile due to escalating drone activity, a direct consequence of Russia’s own war. While Ukraine denies targeting civilian flights, the Ukrainian Foreign Minister has formally alerted the International Civil Aviation Organization. Though many Western carriers already steer clear of Russian skies, airlines from China, Turkey, and the UAE still fly through them — despite Russia’s assurances that its defense and transport ministries are coordinating to ensure safety. Reality checks in: Flightradar24 shows mounting disruptions at Moscow’s airports, with Flydubai and Pegasus Airlines citing “technical and operational” reasons for cancellations. Meanwhile, Russia’s intensified air strikes on Ukrainian cities are met with retaliatory drone attacks deep inside Russian territory — including oil infrastructure — raising alarms that this aerial chess match could continue into 2026, turning commercial aviation into a high-stakes gamble.
