- shoto_io 5y agoIt’s a retaliatory tit-for-tat move. > "Due to the reciprocal practice, the federal aviation authority also did not issue any further permits for flights operated by Russian airlines as long as authorizations are pending on the Russian side," the German Transport Ministry told AFP news agency.

- chinathrow 5y agoWhile I absolutely condemn how Belarus handeld the diversion of said Ryanair flight, I am not so sure it's a sensible idea to poke the bear (Russia) even further. I have no idea what the endgame of Putin and his vassals might look like, I do have a feeling that setting up another USSR is not enough for them.
- foepys 5y agoRussia made the first move by not permitting Lufthansa flights for the month of June. Germany only answered. Russia just permitted Lufthansa flights again, though, so it's old news.
