Published19 minutes ago

British airlines have been banned from landing at Russia's airports and from crossing its airspace, the Russian civil aviation regulator has said.

It follows the UK's decision to ban Russia's national airline Aeroflot from landing in the UK.

The UK's ban was part of sanctions introduced in response to Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

Ukraine's airspace closed on Thursday after Russian forces launched a military invasion of the country.
