⚡️ In connection with Ukrainian statements aimed at creating direct threats to civil aviation, the competent Russian authorities are in contact with the leadership of the International Civil Aviation Organization (#ICAO) in Montreal.

An urgent appeal on the matter has been sent to ICAO Secretary General Juan Carlos Salazar.

❗️ The Russian Federation has issued a strong protest over Ukraine’s reckless terrorist actions, which run counter to international law.

The NOTAMs issued by the Ukrainian authorities alleging that Russian airspace is unsafe have been categorically rejected. They have no legal force, distort the actual situation and mislead users of Russian airspace.

We called on the ICAO Secretary General to condemn the Kiev regime’s unlawful interference in civil aviation and the direct threats it is creating, and to take targeted steps to put an end to these actions by Ukraine.

☝️ The Russian Federation remains firmly committed to ensuring the safety of civil aviation.
