The air war between Russia and Ukraine has intensified as the conflict stretches into its fifth year following Moscow's invasion of its neighbour. The front line in eastern and southern Ukraine remains largely deadlocked, and US efforts to negotiate a peace settlement have yet to produce a path to peace. Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy exchanged threats late on Tuesday over what their next steps might be.

Ukraine's president has told airlines that Russian airspace will be effectively closing as his country escalates its drone strikes. We want to warn every airline that uses Russian airspace, every insurer, everyone who still uses key Russian airports: the Russian sky is becoming completely dangerous, Volodymyr Zelensky says.

Russian President Vladimir Putin responded by saying that Zelensky's comments amounted to a declaration of state terrorism, while adding that Russia would continue its own intensifying attacks on Ukraine. Explaining the elevated airspace risk, Zelensky said: Ukraine does not threaten civilian aviation as such - not a single civilian aircraft.
