Ukrainian drone operations tied to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict have triggered repeated temporary restrictions and full suspensions at Moscow's airports, including Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo, Domodedovo, and Zhukovsky. In early September 2026, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy publicly warned airlines and insurers that Russian airspace was becoming unsafe due to expanded drone activity, prompting notifications to the ICAO and leading to multiple consecutive nights of flight halts, cancellations, and delays reported by Rosaviatsiya and flight trackers. Russian air defenses have intercepted drones near the capital, with authorities citing safety needs for the measures. These developments, building on similar large-scale incidents earlier in 2026, have also prompted initial airline route adjustments and cancellations. Upcoming drone campaigns or diplomatic shifts could alter the frequency of such disruptions.
