Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was allegedly on a flight headed to Beijing Thursday, but the plane turned around midway and flew back toward Moscow, according to German newspaper Bild.

The plane allegedly turned around while over Novosibirsk, a city in Siberia, according to Bild. Fox News Digital has been unable to independently verify the outlet’s report.

It is unclear if China refused to meet with a Russian official or if Russian President Vladimir Putin called him back to Russia, according to Bild. The plane's final destination is also unclear.

A State Department spokesperson told Fox News they did not have information to share on the matter.

Too bad it didn’t crash in a massive ball of flames.

Perfect depiction. China does not want to get caught up in Russia’s madness. They have their own ideas of madness.

Hopefully China turns their back on Putin. I doubt it, but one can hope.

Maybe this is the reason:

“..Hopes for a general ceasefire in Ukraine have increased following meetings with Ukrainian and Russian foreign ministers in Lviv and Moscow, Turkey’s top diplomat has said, informing that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has had another phone conversation with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

“We will welcome to bring two foreign ministers again in Antalya. But we believe it is time to prepare a ground for a meeting between the leaders of Ukraine and Russia,” Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said at a press conference with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba in Kiev on March 17. ...”

With China taking nearly all of Russia’s wheat and most of its coal?

Aint gonna happen.

BTW, the other day one of these fine Einsteins on FR, not you, wondered how the hell China was going to get that Coal and Wheat since ocean shipping is severely curtailed.

Made me shake my head in amazement at the stupidity.

I think what Putin didn’t count on was pretty much the entire globe rallying around Zelenskyy like it has.

Whatever you may think of the guy, and I don’t know enough about him, other than to give him the benefit of the doubt that he is a good guy, that has made a big difference from how Putin planned this on going.

It is best to not take sides in this. There is much that is not known about this feud. When dealing with that part of the world, one is dealing with tribes. Tribes fight with each other.

Plus, one has to take into consideration what Clinton did in 1995. What Obama did in 2005 while still a Senator. What Obama and Biden did in 2014. And, the money laundering of billions of dollars, the bio-labs, the child trafficking and more.

Also, if one is so sympathetic of the Ukranians, then one should go there and fight for them while our own border is wide open to invaders.

So you’re going to lead the citizens defense of our southern border then?

Otherwise, you’re as hypocritical as those you are denigrating.

Pot, meet Kettle.

Or if it has any connection to all those Special flights that left and went to odd destinations.
