Wrong sentiment based on a biased report. Europe is nationalizing whatever property owned by the Russian national worth over $200k - that is a real trust issue.

This plane story is a nothingburger. Western countries closed airspace to the Russian carriers and no plane can fly to Europe or North America anyway. They also blocked Russian banks from making transactions, meaning no lease payments can be made. Count the planes as a gift. As a side note, what lease companies are going to do with 700 of planes? Boeign is going to get out of business on a glut.

In retaliation Russia closed its airspace to countries that sanctioned it.

There was a crazy post of the flight path of a plane from Tokyo to London. It flew out into the Pacific, through the Bering Straight, along the Arctic Ocean and then to London. That’s a lot of fuel.
