Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Shmygal says he wants to close EU skies to any air traffic with Russia. He says this will create problems in logistics for Russia, making it more expensive, and will cause discomfort to Russian citizens.
In March 2022, the United States closed its airspace to all Russian aircraft. The skies are closed by the EU to the Russian fleet, but we have discussed with our partners the closure of transit for any flights to and from Russia, he said during a telethon.
