  "account": "Russian President Vladimir Putin denounced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's warning that Russian airspace was becoming unsafe for civilian flights as a form of \"state terrorism\". Zelenskyy's statement aimed to extend the financial costs of Russia's war beyond military and energy targets to airlines, insurers, and travelers. Putin's comments came after a meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in Bishkek, where Russia and China coordinate regional security. The Russian leader stated that Russia would \"find a way to respond\" if civilian tragedies followed Zelenskyy's warning. Zelenskyy assured that Ukraine would continue striking Russian military targets and parts of the economy supporting the war. Shares in Aeroflot, Russia's national airline, dropped 5.11% to 30.36 rubles in response to Zelenskyy's warning.",
  "summary": "European and US airlines already avoid Russian airspace, while carriers from China, Turkey, and Gulf states continue using it.",
