Petras Auštravičius, a Member of the European Parliament from Lithuania, referred to Volodymyr Zelenskyy's statement as a "very serious signal" for civil aviation. He pointed out that the regular flights of Ukrainian drones over Russian territory already render its airspace hazardous. He cautioned that further developments in the situation could lead to new restrictions on airlines, as he told Belsat.
