Putin Calls Kyiv Plane Warning "State Terrorism" 12 Years After MH17 Downed

Putin said Ukraine’s warning to foreign airlines amounts to state terrorism as drone strikes and air attacks intensify on both sides.

  • On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that "Russian airspace will effectively be closing" due to drone strikes. Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed the warning as "state terrorism," declaring, "We don't negotiate with terrorists."
  • This rhetoric follows intense overnight barrages: the Ukrainian Air Force reported 174 Russian drone and missile strikes, while Russia's Defence Ministry claimed it destroyed 130 Ukrainian drones over 11 regions.
  • Attacks damaged a 24-storey residential building in Odesa, wounding eight people; Ukrainian drone strikes in Russia's Belgorod region killed two and wounded 16 more. Shrapnel also injured two in Kyiv.
  • European officials are weighing responses to what they characterize as Moscow's campaign of continental sabotage. Germany on Tuesday blamed Russia for an attempted attack at Leipzig/Halle airport last month using an explosive-laden drone.
  • The air war intensifies as the conflict enters its fifth year, with front lines remaining largely deadlocked. U.S. efforts to negotiate a peace settlement have yet to produce a breakthrough.
