Tensions remain high between Ukraine and Russia over Russian military deployments into Crimea, as well as to the Voronezh oblast, Rostov oblast and Krasnodar Krai, located adjacent to the eastern Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. The US, UK, EU and NATO have all made statements in support of Ukraine and called on Russia to avoid escalating the situation along the border.

Meanwhile, Russia has accused Ukraine of inflaming the conflict in Donetsk and Luhansk, while accusing NATO of conducting increased levels of air and naval activity in the Black Sea in the past month.

The airspace operational situation over portions of Ukraine, Russia and the Black Sea remains fluid and subject to rapid change.
