Looks like their airport runway is a sandbar next to the river. How far away did they land, is it blown out of proportion with the Russia bad group?

Yes, there doesn’t appear to be a paved runway. If there was snow on the airfield it would kind of blend right into the snow on the river. If the river were plowed, it might be better than landing on frozen packed earth.
