British authorities will detain any Russian aircraft that enters the country’s airspace, UK Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said on Twitter.
“I have made it a criminal offense for any Russian aircraft to enter the space of the UK, now Her Majesty’s Government can detain these aircraft,” the minister said.
In addition, he published a document that defines the criteria for aircraft denied access to Britain. These are aircraft registered in Russia; aircraft owned, operated or chartered by an individual subject to aviation sanctions; aircraft owned, operated or chartered by persons associated with Russia (as defined by law).
Recall, on February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin made an emergency appeal to the Russians and announced a special military operation in the Donbass. In his speech, he stated that “circumstances require decisive action from Russia” and stressed that “Russia will not allow Ukraine to have nuclear weapons.” In response to Russia’s actions, Western countries (USA, Canada, European Union, Great Britain, Japan) announced new, tougher sanctions against the Russian Federation, including financial and economic ones. Foreign companies began to leave Russia one by one.
