Zelensky: Russia hit two airports before US envoys arrived in Moscow

cnn.gr (Greek)

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of striking two airports in Kyiv and Boryspil shortly before US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Moscow with a new peace proposal. Zelensky said Ukraine will adjust its operation regarding Russian airspace following the attacks. He had previously warned airlines that Russian airspace would become "effectively closed" as Kyiv escalates drone strikes, urging carriers to avoid Russian airports. Airlines from China, Turkey, and Gulf states currently use Russian airspace to save time and fuel on Asia-Europe routes, making them vulnerable to the escalating aerial conflict.
