Prices have fallen to their lowest level in recent times.

Shares of Russia's Aeroflot fell by more than 5% after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued a warning to airlines flying in Russian airspace.

This was reported by Meduza.

According to the Moscow Exchange, at around 8:40 p.m. Moscow time, Aeroflot’s stock price fell by 5.11%, reaching a low of 30.36 rubles per share.

Zelenskyy’s statement, which triggered the drop in Aeroflot’s stock price, was made that same evening. The president stated that Ukraine is beginning to close the airspace over Russia—according to him, Russian airspace is becoming dangerous for civil aviation due to the massive presence of drones, and Kyiv is warning international airlines and insurers of the need to take these risks into account.

At the same time, the president emphasized that Ukraine poses no threat to civil aviation.
