The corresponding notice was issued in Ukraine the day before - 24 November.

Rosaviatsia reports:
The decision of the Ukrainian side looks like another provocation. It is worth recalling that when the Ukrainian side conducted missile firing in the airspace of Crimea during its Ukrainian jurisdiction, the Ukrainian military shot down a Russian passenger airliner. Kuchma then stated that this was a “mistake”, but “this happens,” and did not make any official apologies about the horrible incident.
Here is the text published by “Rosaviation” - about the intentions of Ukraine:
The first danger zone is set 1 and 2 December 2016 of the year from 09: 00 to 19: 00 Moscow time at all heights with the seizure of airspace over the open sea in the area of responsibility of the Russian Federation (Simferopol district center).

Rosaviatsia reports:
Such actions of the Ukrainian side, firstly, violate the requirements of the 11 Annex "Air Traffic Services" and the 15 Annex "Aeronautical Information Services" to the Convention on International Civil Aviation of 1944, regarding the establishment of prohibited zones within the state territory of the Russian Federation and areas of responsibility over the high seas, and, secondly, endanger the safety of international air navigation, pose a potential danger to civil aviation, which can lead to disasters similar to those that occurred on flights MH17 (Malaysian Airlines) 17 July 2014 of the year and S7 1812 (Sibir Airlines) 4 of October 2001 of the year.
Unilateral actions indicate that the Ukrainian side has no intention to constructively normalize air traffic over the Black Sea, and actually discredits the efforts of the Secretariat of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the ICAO Task Force on the Black Sea on this issue.
Rosaviatsia requires the Ukrainian side to immediately cancel the issued notifications, considers unacceptable attempts to establish prohibited zones in the sovereign airspace of the Russian Federation and insists on the absolute need for prior coordination with the competent Russian authorities and the air navigation service provider to establish prohibited zones in the airspace above the open sea in the zone responsibility of the Russian Federation.
