The UK has threatened criminal penalties for any Russian planes who violate the country’s airspace. The aircraft could be detained under a new order issued after Britain fully closed its skies to all Russian flights.
Citing what he deemed an “unprovoked, premeditated attack against a sovereign democratic state” by Russia, British Transport Secretary Grant Shapps suggested that Russian aircraft could be hit with criminal charges should they fly over Britain.
“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,” Shapps said in a tweet, vowing to “suffocate Putin's cronies’ ability to continue living as normal while thousands of innocent people die.”
