Thank you!
Russia has banned direct flights from UK until at least 17 March.

Regarding routing, the situation is that Russia generally doesn’t allow people to take connecting flights. They expect you to be UK citizen or resident if you fly From UK, a Turkish citizen or resident if you fly to Russia from Turkey and so on. There are exemptions for Russian citizens, residents and certain Highly Qualified work visa holders but unless you fall into one of those categories you must fly the route of your citizenship/residence.
