  "account": "On Friday, Russia denounced Ukraine's claim that Russian airspace is becoming increasingly hazardous due to Ukrainian drones. President Vladimir Putin accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of engaging in terrorism. The Russian foreign ministry sent a protest note to the ICAO chief, urging him to condemn Ukraine's unlawful actions and prevent threats to civil aviation. Russia and Ukraine have been in conflict for 4.5 years, with Ukraine's airspace being closed since 2022. The ICAO, headquartered in Montreal, urged its members to ensure the safety of civilian aircraft after Zelensky's statement. Ukraine maintains that its actions are not threatening civilian aviation, emphasizing that drones are being deployed in Russia as a response to Moscow's attacks on Ukrainian cities.",
  "summary": "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned airlines earlier this week that Russian airspace would be 'completely unsafe' and filled with Ukrainian drones.",
