Russian aircraft landed at Hungarian military airport despite closed airspace!

Change language:

An aircraft with Russian insignia that previously transported radioactive cargo landed at the Pápa Military Air Base despite early sanctions against Russia, including the closing of the European Union’s airspace.

Shortly after Russia launched a military attack on Ukraine, the European Union started to try and deter Russia from the attack by passing some sanctions against Putin.

Back on February 27, the EU with Ursula von der Leyen at the forefront accepted the first package of sanctions against Russia; in addition to purchasing weapons and medical equipment for 500 million euros to donate to Ukraine, the countries accepted her proposal, writes Telex.

“We are closing the EU’s airspace before the Russians. We propose that all Russian-owned, Russian-registered or Russian-controlled aircraft be banned. These aircraft will no longer be allowed to land, take off or fly over the territory of the EU.”

Telex reports that despite this ban, an aircraft belonging to the Russian Airline Volga-Dneper took off in Moscow, then flew over Belarus, Poland, and Slovakia, and then proceeded to land early Wednesday at the Pápa Military Air Base in Hungary, as per the information found on flight radar.

  1. Buy a second nuclear reactor and we will be intimately linked for generations to come! As per Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orban’s telephone conversation summary on April 6, 2022 “the leaders discussed a number of topical aspects of Russian-Hungarian relations, which continue to develop in a mutually beneficial manner”. en.kremlin.ru never disappoints.

  2. If this is FACT – another reason why the brand name Hungary continues to DAMAGE it-self in the European Union, NATO and Great Britain and America – and the Ukraine.
    Who besides Russia & China – will be known as FRIENDS of Hungary ???
    The aggressive abandonment of friendships that continues on Hungary – through its IMAGE and position it continues to adapt in this Russian War on the Ukraine – the massive lossers are going to be Hungarians – which will see there country in a state of massive economic & financial state of crisis.
    This economic & financial collapse process is factually occuring in Hungary and sooner than later – it will be a DISASTER.
    What friends of Hungary – will the Government, overwhelmingly voted back into office at the recent National Elections – who will Fidesz – the Prime Minister of Hungary – Victor Orban – who will his CRY for Help be directed to-wards ???
    Mindboggling – the economic & financial picture of Hungary that continue to WORSEN & Deteriorate – into a SMAMBLES.

  3. Wow, “Concerned – Troubled” relax. This is not the apocalypse or some catastrophic movie. The situation is not so dramatic at all, do you even live in Hungary? Life is same as the past years, actually improved. Salaries are increasing, businesses are opening and growing faster than most other countries in the world, and no matter what media wants you to believe, Hungary is fully member of EU and NATO.
    Sure, also the problems are there, democracy is struggling in several areas, there could definitely be a better government… but I can tell the same for most other countries in the world.
