Parked planes at Kyiv airport after the airspace was closed

High-level meetings are ongoing at MEA: Contingency plans are being put into operation. Given airspace closure, alternate evacuation routes are being activated. Additional Russian speaking officials have been sent to the Indian Embassy in Ukraine and are being deployed in countries neighbouring Ukraine. The Embassy in Ukraine is functional and its advisories should be followed carefully, the MEA said.

The Russian military says it has knocked out Ukraine's air defence assets and airbases. The Russian Defence Ministry said the Russian strikes have suppressed air defence means of the Ukrainian military, adding that the infrastructure of Ukraine's military bases has been incapacitated. It denied the claims that a Russian warplane was shot down over Ukraine.
