(credit: REUTERS/VALENTYN OGIRENKO/FILE PHOTO)    Russia says no foreign airlines plan to stop flight to Russia  Russian aviation watchdog Rosaviatsiya stated on Thursday that it had not received any withdrawal notifications from any foreign airlines, Interfax news agency reported, citing the agency's head, Dmitriy Yadrov.  He said that the Russian foreign ministry and the watchdog would cooperate with the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) on civilian flights to and from Russia after Zelensky's warning.  "They work very closely with us and understand all our rules, standards and how we ensure flight safety," Russian news agency Interfax quoted Transport Minister Andrei Nikitin as saying.   He said that the ministry gave the clarifications in response to requests from foreign carriers.  While European and US carriers have avoided Russian airspace since the start of the Ukraine war in 2022, airlines from China, Turkey and Gulf states still use it.
