Western insurance companies are stopping insuring airlines flying over the territory of Ukraine, practically closing the sky over the country. The Ukrainian news outlet Strana.ua reports, citing sources in the insurance market, that on Sunday the largest British insurance companies, which reinsure other insurers, sent out a notice that within 48 hours insurance coverage for flights going to and out Ukraine will not be provided. "Not a single plane will fly to or out of Ukraine starting from about the middle of the day on Monday," the source said. The same information was confirmed by the owners of private jets. Insurance coverage for their aircraft will be revoked if they are in Ukraine, and therefore the aircraft should be withdrawn from Ukraine to the European zone. Most likely, starting Monday, 4pm Kyiv time, the air traffic over Ukraine will come to a halt, writes the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine from the European Solidarity faction. It is from this time (14.00 London time) that there will be no insurance coverage for civil aircraft that are in the Ukrainian airspace, Goncharenko claims.

Ukraine sees no point closing its airspace amid the tensions with Moscow, a senior Ukrainian official said on Sunday, after the United States warned that Russia could invade the eastern European nation at any time. Dutch carrier KLM said it would stop flying to Ukraine and Germany''s Lufthansa said it was considering suspending flights. Ukraine''s SkyUp said on Sunday it had to divert one flight after the owner of the leased aircraft barred it from entering Ukrainian airspace. The most important point is that Ukraine itself sees no point in closing the sky. This is nonsense. And, in my opinion, it somewhat resembles a kind of partial blockade, said Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Ukrainian president''s chief of staff. If particular air carriers decide to reconfigure the flight schedule, this certainly has nothing to do with the decisions or policies of our state, he told Reuters . The United States, its Western allies and other nations have been scaling back or evacuating embassy staff and have advised their citizens not to travel to Ukraine amid the standoff.
