> Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Ukrainian drones would make Russian airspace “completely unsafe” for as long as the war continues. Russian leader Vladimir Putin accused Ukraine of “state terrorism.” Former British military intelligence officer Philip Ingram said the warning was aimed at international airlines from the Middle East, Southeast Asia and China that still fly to Moscow, and formed part of the information war.
