Russian presidential adviser Anton Kobyakov claimed that Russia's airspace is safe, despite Ukraine's warnings about drone-related dangers. Kobyakov stated that "maximum measures" have been taken to ensure air security for citizens. However, on September 2, Russian media reported that about 120 flights at Moscow's Vnukovo and Sheremetyevo airports were delayed or cancelled. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recently announced that Ukraine would begin closing Russian airspace, warning international airlines and insurers of drone-related risks. Following his statement, foreign carriers cancelled approximately 30 flights to and from Moscow.
