Zelensky Vows To Adjust Operation Regarding Russia's Airspace After Strikes On Kyiv And Boryspil Airports
"Last night, the Russians struck a civilian enterprise in Kamianske, in the Dnipro region, killing four people and injuring five others. My condolences to their families and loved ones," Zelensky said.
Residential buildings were damaged in several regions, including Kherson, Boryspil and the Kharkiv region. In Sumy and Mykolaiv, Russia struck shopping centers with drones.
"There were also demonstrative Russian strikes on our airports overnight – in Kyiv and Boryspil. Deliberate, for the first time in a while. Clearly, these Russian strikes on the airports are a reaction to the discussions and preparations for the possibility of the U.S. side using an aircraft to travel to Ukraine and land at Kyiv Airport or Boryspil Airport. Russian-Iranian 'shaheds' in response to American diplomacy," Zelensky said.
He also added: "We have taken note of this Russian move, and next week we will adjust our operation accordingly regarding Russian airspace, which has become dangerous because of our drones and missiles in the sky. Of course, there are and will be no threats to diplomacy from our side."
Ukraine is interested in bringing peace closer, Zelensky said. Russia will be held responsible for its actions, he added.

According to him, Ukraine does not pose a threat to civil aviation as such – to any civilian aircraft. However, drones will be present in Russia's skies, and this needs to be taken into account.
Ukraine has officially informed the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) that Russian airspace is dangerous for civil aviation due to increased military activity and called on everyone to avoid it.
