Britain will detain any Russian aircraft in its airspace

The British authorities have announced that they can detain any Russian plane that has entered the country's airspace.

“I have made it a criminal offence for ANY Russian aircraft to enter UK airspace and now Her Majesty's Government can detain these jets. We will suffocate Putin's cronies’ ability to continue living as normal while thousands of innocent people die,” UK’s Secretary of State for Transport Grant Shapps posted on Twitter.

On February 24, Russian president Putin launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russian troops kill civilians, shell and destroy key infrastructure, and missiles hit Ukrainians' homes.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree on general mobilization.

Ukraine officially filed a lawsuit against the Russian Federation at the UN International Court of Justice in The Hague.
