Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the 'safe days in Russian skies are over.' This statement comes amid rising tensions and conflicts between Ukraine and Russia, with the Ukrainian capital experiencing massive attacks.

According to Zelensky, twelve people have reportedly died following a recent bombing that caused fires in Kyiv, including debris from Russian drones.

On the other side, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova warned that 'the response to anti-Russian adventures in the Baltics will be devastating,' referring to ongoing military operations in the Baltic regions.

Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas emphasized that Ukraine is facing an 'increasingly kinetic wave of hybrid attacks' from Russia, indicating a Russian strategy of intimidation.

Germany has also expressed its stance, stating that Moscow must know that the country will not be intimidated.

These events occur within a context of high geopolitical tension and mutual attacks, with airlines potentially needing to reconsider their operational plans due to the increasing threats in Russian airspace.
