Aeroporturile din Rusia au fost închise de 993 de ori într-o singură lună. Este cel mai grav bilanț de la începutul invaziei
Russian airports experienced significant disruptions in August due to drone threats, leading to numerous temporary closures. A total of 993 closures were recorded at 32 airports, averaging 32 per day. The summer months saw 2,182 closures, surpassing the total for all of 2025. The closures are initiated under the 'Kover' protocol for air defense in emergencies. Ukrainian President Zelensky warned that Russian airspace is increasingly unsafe for civil aviation. Disruptions continued into September, with an average of 86 flights canceled daily. The impact extends to ground transport, with a notable decrease in passenger numbers on key routes. Foreign airlines have adjusted or suspended operations to Russia, reflecting broader economic pressures on the country.
