Aeroflot stock falls 5.11% after Zelensky warns that Russian airspace is becoming ‘completely unsafe’
Aeroflot shares fell more than 5% after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a warning to airlines that fly through Russian airspace, according to Moscow Exchange data.
At about 8:40 p.m. Moscow time, the stock was down 5.11%, hitting a low of 30.36 rubles a share.
Shortly before the drop, Zelensky posted his evening video address, in which he warned airlines that Russian airspace is “becoming completely unsafe” because “there will simply be drones in Russia’s skies on a scale that has to be taken into account.” “We in Ukraine do not want innocent lives to be lost,” he said. “That is why we are warning our partners: the safe days in Russia’s skies are over.”
