  "summary": "Ukraine has told the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) that Russian airspace is not safe, according to Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga. He stated that against the backdrop of Russia's escalation of terror against Ukraine, Russian airspace is becoming increasingly unsafe and urged everyone to avoid it.\n\nUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky previously warned that his country's drones would make Russia's airspace \"completely unsafe\" for the duration of the war. This warning was addressed to international airlines from regions such as the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and China that are still operating into Moscow, according to Former British Military Intelligence Officer Philip Ingram.\n\nRussia has been carrying out attacks on Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, where at least 13 people were injured after Russian drones struck central Kyiv on September 2, damaging a university, a residential building, and a medical facility. President Zelensky condemned the attacks and called for support from Ukraine's international allies.",
