President Joe Biden announced Tuesday 01 March 2022 during his State of the Union address that the U.S. would close its skies to Russian aircraft while promising more pain to Russia and its cadre of oligarchs as punishment for its invasion of Ukraine.
The president opened his remarks with a focus on Moscow's invasion of Ukraine and the efforts undertaken by the U.S. and allies to penalize Russian President President Vladimir Putin — and other members of the country's elite — for the ongoing assault.
Individual European countries had previously prohibited various Russian aircraft from their airspace. Canada has also shut its airspace to Russian aircraft.
Biden’s announcement for the U.S. to do the same came during a speech in which he slammed Putin’s invasion of Ukraine as “wrong” and highlighted the response that the U.S. and its allies have undertaken against it.
