The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on the official website on the 4th saying that the navigation notice issued by the Ukrainian side regarding “Russian airspace is no longer safe” distorts the facts and misleads Russian airspace users, and Russia has seriously protested against this. The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that the Ukrainian side's remarks pose a direct threat to civil aviation, and that relevant Russian departments are maintaining contacts with the International Civil Aviation Organization and making an urgent appeal to the ICAO Secretary General. The statement said that Russia has always been unswerving in safeguarding the safety of civil aviation. According to a report by Ukraine's state news agency on the 1st, Ukrainian President Zelensky warned international airlines in his nighttime speech that Russian airspace was becoming dangerous. Russian Transport Minister Nikitin commented on this on the 2nd, saying that the Russian Ministry of Transport is continuing to raise flight safety and airport security requirements, and Russia is capable of dealing with all threats.
