Ukraine appears to have begun blocking Russia’s airspace. The press reports that four state aircraft cannot land in Moscow due to drone incursions.
It is not known in which aircraft the Russian leader is. Three of the planes were returning from Turkmenistan, where the Russian president was recently, and one could be headed towards Saint Petersburg.
In the meantime, images have appeared on Telegram channels showing crowds of people waiting to take off from Russian airports. Only at the airports in Moscow there would be about 190 flights that are delayed and over 80 cancelled.
Statements attributed to Kiril Budanov have appeared in the Kiev press, who says that “it started late”, due to the pleas of some partners. Journalists believe that the official thus announced the blocking of Russian airspace.
Russian Telegram channels report that explosions were heard in some regions of Moscow and drones may have been shot down.
