The EU does not allow Russia to escape sanctions

Official Brussels opposes the lifting of air sanctions against the aggressor country Russia.

What is important to understand is that without the consent of the European Union, it will be extremely difficult for Russian carriers to fly to the States.

According to one European official, in addition to political decisions on sanctions, "serious security issues" cannot be ignored.

It is unclear whether Russian airlines and air traffic services have been properly maintained over the past three years, which puts the airworthiness of the Russian fleet in serious doubt, one insider complained.

It is worth noting that after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia blocked access to spare parts for aircraft from Western manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus.

Thus, recently the scandalous head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Sergei Lavrov, claimed that such a step "should be a consequence of the lifting of sanctions on Aeroflot."

"The Americans have considered this, but so far we have not seen any steps in response," the Russian diplomat lamented.
