In the linked article no one suggests attacks on civilians. Rather it reads as a way to avoid unnecessary casulties.

What a clickbait headline.

Yeah this is what he actually said...

"Today, we want to warn every airline that uses Russian airspace, every insurer, and everyone who still uses Russia’s key airports: Russian airspace is becoming completely unsafe."

"Ukraine does not threaten civilian aviation as such – not a single civilian aircraft. There will simply be drones in Russia’s skies on a scale that has to be taken into account"

"We in Ukraine do not want innocent lives to be lost. That is why we are warning our partners: the safe days in Russia’s skies are over. It is important that this is heard by the ambassadors of countries represented here in Ukraine, as well as by ambassadors working in Moscow."

How do "russian airspace will become completely unsafe" und "do not threaten civilian aviation" together?

War is dangerous. Ukraine has been attacked and is fighting back. They're warning people that the area they are fighting in is dangerous and they don't want anyone to get hurt.

Do you assume Ukraine should prioritize commercial airline safety over their own sovereignty and their own commercial airlines, which have consistently been in danger for years?

There is not a safe way to conduct war. I'm sure Zelensky would prefer to stop the fighting, but that option currently means the death of Ukraine entirely.

“Ukraine does not threaten civilian aviation as such – not a single civilian aircraft. There will simply be drones in Russia’s skies on a scale that has to be taken into account”

We in Ukraine do not want innocent lives to be lost.

Well that's just an outright and blatant lie.

Sure but that's a threat and a weak cover. The logistics of covering Russian airspace with so many drones that a civilian aircraft would just happen into one is ridiculous. This is an incredibly common tactic.
