I would find it hilarious that they try to compare their own mismanagement of crew matters with war or weather, but I don't since I'm affected. I got offered a €50 gift card instead of €250 cash for a cancelled (international) flight operated by Nordic Regional, reason for cxl shortage of crew.
On Wed before last Wed the KUO-HEL 06:00 ATR flight was cancelled due to crew shortage, and so I lost my connection to LPA that day. 50 eur gift card was offered also to me. Did not refuse it but filed a full compensation claim EU 261 + one taxi ride in KUO, one hotel night in HEL Hilton + one missed and pre-paid transfer in the final destination. It will be interesting to see, what will be compensated.
