So, I am hoping that Putin stays distracted by what is happening on the Eastern Front.
I was checking my flight from ATL to ICN and it still shows the original routing thru Russian airspace. And, a call to the Diamond line yielded the response that they could not guarantee that Korean Air would not fly through Russian airspace.

Checking the return routings, I see that some DL and Korean air flights are taking a more southern route over Japan.
