Volodymyr Zelensky says Ukraine would suspend some drone ops over Russia "for the sake of diplomacy"

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has cautioned airlines, insurers, and airport operators that Russia’s airspace is increasingly hazardous because of Ukrainian drone activity, while insisting Ukraine is not targeting civilian planes. The warning came in his nightly address amid escalating attacks in the war, including Russian strikes that killed at least 12 people around Kyiv. In response, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused Zelensky of endorsing terrorism and said Moscow would not negotiate with terrorists. Zelensky added that, if international partners requested it, Ukraine would suspend drone operations over Russia during defined windows and at specified locations to create room for diplomatic talks. The conflict has continued for more than four years, with peace efforts under US mediation stalled.
