Ukraine’s aviation authorities supported the terrorist rhetoric of their leader, aimed at destabilizing the operation of Russia’s civil aviation, and issued an illegitimate NOTAM about the alleged danger of the airspace of the Russian Federation. In response, Russia’s Federal Air Transport Agency issued a NOTAM stating that all documents published by Ukraine concerning the airspace of the Russian Federation have no legal force and violate the Convention on International Civil Aviation
Context
The day before, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned every airline using Russian airspace that "Russian airspace is becoming completely dangerous" and "will de facto be closed."
In response, Russian dictator Putin called Zelenskyy’s words "a bid for state terrorism" and promised that the Russian Federation would "find a way to respond."
