EU should immediately block all Russian airlines from EU airspace. US as well.

unfortunately this mostly hits those russians who travel outside russia who have families on both sides etc and who oppose this war started by putin and his administration... the less exposure russians have to the west the more it helps putins intentions with domestic propaganda..

Sad day for my wife - who does not support the invasion at all; and is overly p+++d off with her President - as she had planned to use SU to visit her family back in Russia. Might need to be a detour via Middle East.

Stinks being encumbered by citizenship.

This is a good illustration, an Aeroflot service from the Russian occupied enclave of Königsberg / Kaliningrad to Moscow, having to go the long way around.
