Germany: At least ten aircraft owned and controlled by Russia are still stuck in Germany, almost six months after the closure of the European Union airspace for Russian airplanes, as per the sources citing the German Ministry of Transport.
The Ministry noted in the statement, “Since the planes are subject to a take-off and flight ban because of the European Union sanctions regime, they cannot be used by the owner and cannot be taken to another location.”
As per the report, there are three Russian Antonov AN-124 machines on the ground in Leipzig, a Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 and a Boeing 737 in Cologne, as well as a Boeing 747 in Frankfurt-Hahn. Another four aircraft are in Baden-Baden, including a Cessna 750 Citation X, two Embraer ERJ-135BJ Legacy 600 and a Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express XRS.
Along with this, in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the European Union closed its airspace for Russian airplanes in late February.
About 42 nations demand Russia to hand over Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant to Ukraine plant to war-torn Ukraine.
In addition, Artillery shells again struck the Ukrainian city of Enerhodar on Sunday near the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, as dozens of nations demanded the immediate withdrawal of Russian troops from the area.
A statement on behalf of 42 nations noted, “The stationing of Russian military personnel and weapons at the nuclear facility is unacceptable.”
“We urge the Russian Federation to immediately withdraw its military forces and all other unauthorized personnel from the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, its immediate surroundings, and all of Ukraine so that the operator and the Ukrainian authorities can resume their sovereign responsibilities within Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders.”
The demand was made on behalf of the European Union as well as the United States, Britain, Norway, Australia, Japan, New Zealand and many other countries.
