USA to Turkey: “block flights of Russian airlines!”

The United States has asked Turkey to prevent Russian airlines from flying to Turkey on US-made aircraft.

The United States, which is trying to include Turkey in its sanctions against Russia, demanded that Russian airlines be prevented from flying between Turkey and Russia with US-made aircraft.

According to the Wall Street Journal, a US official said that they had warned Turkish citizens who violate the embargoes against Russia about the risks they would face. The official emphasized they had said that providing refueling, spare parts to American-made Russian aircraft might be a violation of sanctions.

The warning to Turkey will be an important test of whether the US and its allies will be able to isolate Russia in the long term, and whether Moscow will find a way to maintain its economic activity, especially with the help of third countries, the report said.
