Ukrainian diplomat: Flights to Russia by Chinese, Indian, and Turkish airlines must be disrupted.
Ukraine must create a permanent threat to Russian civil aviation in the hope that foreign companies will stop flying.
Former Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States Valeriy Chaly stated this on Radio Liberty , reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"We need to trumpet to the world that Ukraine is off the air. But few people know this. In Argentina or Brazil, they don't know that planes aren't flying over Ukraine. And at least half of Americans don't either."
And our next step shouldn't be just drone attacks, but a comprehensive attack, like the Russians are doing in Ukraine. With missiles and drones . I hope we'll see that happen this year.
We need to show that Russia has no chance of isolating itself from the war it is waging,” Chaly said.
"They won't close the skies. But due to the threat, traffic in Russian airspace will still be reduced , especially for international companies."
What's important here is how China, Turkey, and India will react. They could simply change the route. And that will reduce the Russian economy because companies won't pay for navigation . So, it's about the economy," the Ukrainian diplomat added.
