https://skybrary.aero/articles/european-airspace-infringement-action-pl…

Airspace infringement, also known as “unauthorised penetration of airspace”, is a major operational hazard that can result from the division of airspace into different classes and structures, with their associated procedures and services, and its joint use by different categories of users, often with competing objectives and different operational requirements and capabilities.

EASA has just issued an updated Ukraine CZIB to reflect opening of some Moldovan airspace. Find out more here:
