European aviation regulators warn civilian planes could get shot down over Ukraine

From CNN’s Pete Muntean

European aviation regulators say there is a “high risk” to civilian aircraft near the Ukrainian border, fearing they could be targeted on purpose at any altitude.

“Air operators are reminded that this is now an active conflict zone,” says the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, known as EASA. 

The agency added that “operators should exercise extreme caution” and avoid using the airspace within 100 nautical miles of the Russia-Ukraine border.

“Critical infrastructure, including airports, are exposed to military activities which result in safety risks for civil aircraft,” said the EASA. “The presence and possible use of a wide range of ground and airborne warfare systems poses a HIGH risk for civil flights operating at all altitudes and flight levels.”

The Ukrainian ambassador to the United Nations urged other member nations to “stop the war,” at an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.

“It is the responsibility of this body to stop the war. So I call on every one of you to do everything possible to stop the war,” Sergiy Kyslytsya said to the council, before turning to face the Russian ambassador to the UN and asking: “Or should I play the video with your president declaring the war?”

The Russian ambassador responded, “This isn’t called a war, this is called a special military operation in Donbas.”

Early Thursday morning, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced in a televised address that troops were taking military action in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine.

CNN reporters and witnesses in cities across Ukraine have reported hearing explosions in the early hours of Thursday.

The US Ambassador to the United Nations said Russian President Vladimir Putin had “delivered a message of war” by announcing his military operation in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine during an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.

“In my remarks tonight, I said that we predicted Russia’s false flag attacks. The misinformation, the theatrical emergency meetings and cyber-attacks. But one piece had not come to pass. Unfortunately while we’ve been meeting in the Security Council tonight, it appears that President Putin has ordered that last step,” said UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield.

“At the exact time as we are gathered in the council seeking peace, Putin delivered a message of war in total disdain for the responsibility for this council. This is a grave emergency. The council will need to act and we will put a resolution on the table tomorrow. As President Biden said tonight, Russia alone is responsible for the death and destruction this attack will bring and the United States and our allies and partners will decide in a united and decisive way.”

CNN reporters and witnesses in cities across Ukraine have reported hearing explosions in the early hours of Thursday.

Here’s where:

  • Kyiv: CNN reporters in Ukraine’s capital heard explosions from the east in the direction of the city’s international airport.

CNN has not confirmed that the airport has been targeted.  
  • Kharkiv: A CNN team in Ukraine’s second biggest city, in the northeast of the country, heard a “steady stream of loud explosions.”
  • Kramatorsk: Two people in the eastern city, located about 120 kilometers (75 miles) north of separatist-held Donetsk, told CNN they heard at least two massive explosions.
  • Dnipro: A resident of the central city told CNN they had heard “a few explosions.”
  • Mariupol: Two residents told CNN they heard explosions east of the city, which is located in the southeast of the country.
  • Odessa: A CNN team in the Black Sea port city heard two groups of explosions about 20 minutes apart. 
  • Zaporizhzhia: A CNN team in the southeastern city said they heard at at least one very distant explosion.

Russian ambassador to UN defends military operation in emergency Security Council meeting

The Russian ambassador to the United Nations, Vasily Alekseevich Nebenzya, defended Russia’s decision to take military action in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine during an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.

“The root of today’s crisis around Ukraine is the actions of Ukraine itself, who for many years were sabotaging its obligations under the (Minsk agreement),” said Nebenzya. He claimed that the Russian operation aimed to protect residents in the separatist pro-Moscow regions of eastern Ukraine, “who for eight years have been cowering from Ukraine’s shelling.”

He claimed that “Ukrainian provocation against those in Donbas not only has not stopped but has intensified,” which prompted separatist leaders in the regions of Luhansk and Donetsk to request Russian assistance.

The US State Department has warned that Russia may use so-called false flags, including claims that Ukraine is attacking Donetsk, to justify an invasion.
