Tim Clark was asked about it and it is clearly said that for now Emirates will fly to Russia. As long as UAE government will tell to stop it.
On the other hand Tim Clark said "We carry humanitarian goods in our holds. We've got NGOs traveling in and out of Russia. We've got the diplomatic community going in and out of Russia...so all we're doing is being an enabler, facilitator, without taking a political position on this for the time being." Speaking about humanitarian aid on flights to Russia is cheeky and insane. It would be something if Emirates open new cargo route to airport near Ukraine (in Poland, Romania, Slovakia), from where humanitarian aid is carried to Ukraine.
Russia do NOT send humanitarian aid to Ukraine, only bombs.
