US expected to ban Russian overflights — reports
The US is planning to ban Russian flights from using its airspace, the Wall Street Journal and Reuters report.
The move would follow several European countries taking the same measure, leading to reciprocal bans from Moscow.
Reuters reports the ban is expected to go into effect Wednesday, and comes after the White House has held talks with airlines over the last several days.
