Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has issued a warning to airlines across the world. He says they should stop flying over Russian territory.
Zelenskyy claims that the skies over Russia are no longer safe. This is because Ukraine is sending more drones to strike targets inside the country.
Because of these attacks, the airspace has become dangerous for planes. Some airlines have already started to change their flight paths to stay away from the area.
The warning comes as the war between the two countries intensifies. Both sides are currently using drones to hit targets far away from the front lines.
While Russia and Ukraine continue to trade threats, travel experts say that avoiding the conflict zone is becoming the standard safety procedure for many international flights.
