  2. Ukraine hasn’t had a real functional airport for years now. Welcome to the party, Russia.

  4. The closure of Russian airports following drone attacks on 6–7 May disrupted travel plans for at least 60,000 passengers and affected at least 350 flights.

    Details: ATOR warned that “this delay will trigger further delays like a domino effect” and urged citizens to check the status of their flights.

    At Vnukovo Airport alone, around 50 flights were cancelled and over 45 delayed by more than an hour. Forty-three planes were diverted to other airports including Pulkovo, Mineralnye Vody, Ufa, Perm, Saratov and others. At Sheremetyevo Airport, about 100 flights were cancelled and at least 50 delayed. Domodedovo Airport cancelled 20 departures, with more than 70 arrivals delayed.

    The air traffic restrictions extended beyond Moscow, affecting Sochi, Kazan, Kirov, Nizhnekamsk, Kaluga, Volgograd, Saratov, Samara, Ivanovo, Yaroslavl, Tambov and other cities. In addition, over 30 cities in the central part of Russia experienced internet disruptions.

    Airlines including Aeroflot, Rossiya, Pobeda, S7, Ural Airlines, Nordwind, NordStar and Azur Air announced flight consolidations or cancellations.

  5. Haha, sucks to be the victims, doesn’t it? (Also, I don’t feel sorry for tourists stuck in russia. Imagine spending money to go a country full of nazis?)

  7. This is not good. 60,000 people inconvenienced by Putin’s stupid war. It will take ages for them to clear the backlog. I would think some of them will blame Ukraine but it’s really because of Putin’s war. Play with fire you get burnt.

  10. * Insert Mr. Krabs playing the world’s smallest violin here *

  11. If any of them want to complain about Putins war they should go up to the 3rd floor by the windows…. There are people there who will help them out 

  13. Maybe they can seek shelter in the Metro. Will prepare them for 2033.

  15. Good. Let them be inconvenienced by the war their shitty gov’t started.

  16. They should be lucky that Ukraine isn’t intentionally killing civilians like russia is.

  23. After several years of wars, Russians are finally… checks notes… mildly inconvenienced.

  24. *Over 60k passengers stranded in ruzzia airports*

    Some guy in a vest: “Remember, no ruzzia”

  25. I wouldn’t care if those 60000 even died. I won’t support it . I just can’t be bothered to care for them as I know longer consider them as fellow humans let alone innocent bystanders

  26. If Infinity Ward has taught me anything, this is a perfect oppurtunity for someone oppurtunistic and maybe a bit sociopathic to recite “Remember… No Russian.”

    We all failed that morality check, don’t fool yourself…

  27. Oh, no!
    Imagine the peaceful normal life you could be living if only Putin hadn’t invaded a neighboring country without provocation.

    Imagine a country not mourning the useless deaths of so many young men and innocent civilians.

    I have no sympathy for your travel plans, boo hoo

  28. It’s remarkable how little I care about Russians experiencing hardship, if this can even be considered hardship.

  29. I’m amazed there are so many young men in that photo, I thought Russia had a problem getting enough recruits for the war in Ukraine. I guess they prefer to pay for North Korean and Chinese soldiers to put through the meat grinder.

  33. Oh my Lord, that ant has a violin!

    It’s fucking tiny!!!

  35. Aaaaahahahahahaa. Ha. HaHAAAAAAAAAA

    Sucks to suck

  38. Russia is going to collapse soon. If so, I hope trump doesn’t take credit for it. It’s been many years in the making. But trump would unfortunately. Make him last longer than he should, when he’s like Putin
