**Repeated Ukrainian drone attacks on the Moscow region have driven repeated temporary flight restrictions at airports including Domodedovo, Zhukovsky, Vnukovo, and Sheremetyevo throughout 2026.** Russian authorities, via Rosaviatsiya, routinely impose these measures to ensure safety and enable air defense intercepts, with official statements consistently citing UAV threats as the trigger. Major incidents occurred in mid-June with barrages of 60–194 drones, and similar disruptions continued in July and August, including events on August 21 (seven UAVs downed) and August 26 (at least 10 downed shortly after a CIA director’s visit). These patterns reflect standard security protocols amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict rather than weather, technical failures, or other factors. Ongoing hostilities and periodic escalations in long-range drone activity sustain the risk of future closures within the market’s resolution window.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Russian government or aviation authorities suspend departures and arrivals at all three of the following Moscow airports at any point between market creation and the specified date, 11:59 PM ET.
The relevant airports are:
- Sheremetyevo (SVO);
- Domodedovo (DME); and
- Vnukovo (VKO).
A qualifying suspension refers to official flight restrictions suspending both departures and arrivals at all three airports for any amount of time. Such suspensions may be issued as one singular order or separate notices, provided suspensions of arrivals and departures are concurrently in effect at all three airports between market creation and the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Suspensions described as "temporary restrictions on arrivals and departures" at the relevant airports by Russian authorities will qualify.
The primary resolution source will be official communications from the Russian government and Russian aviation authorities, including the Rosaviatsiya federal air transport agency; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.**Repeated Ukrainian drone attacks on the Moscow region have driven repeated temporary flight restrictions at airports including Domodedovo, Zhukovsky, Vnukovo, and Sheremetyevo throughout 2026.** Russian authorities, via Rosaviatsiya, routinely impose these measures to ensure safety and enable air defense intercepts, with official statements consistently citing UAV threats as the trigger.
