WARSAW, Poland—Russian airlines will be banned from entering Polish airspace, Poland’s Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Friday, a day after Russian forces moved against Ukraine with a multi-pronged invasion that has sent Western leaders scrambling to mount a response.

“I have ordered the preparation of a resolution of the council of ministers which will lead to the closure of the airspace over Poland to Russian airlines,” Morawiecki wrote in a post on Twitter.
