Guardian: Reports " Russia refuses to allow European planes to land in Moscow...Retaliation over Belarus airspace row results in cancellation of flights from French and Austrian carriers "
Lets Get Real:
The EU and the UK should BAN all flights from Belarus, also if the Russians do not place pressure on the President of Belarus the flights from Russian should be BANNED from Western airspace. Let's make it painful for Putin, he is already consider a rogue actor of the international system, does he want to tell Russians why they can not FLY to the West anymore. It will be like the good old Cold War, only Russian officials will be allowed to travel, of course the Russian and US Summit is not far away, so one would think that Putin might try to get some good press by telling the Government of Belarus to release its prisoners. On the other hand Russia does not have that many friends, so Putin will it seems support Belarus. The more the World CHANGES, the more it returns to past patterns.
