Unpleasant west in the air

A plane flew to Chisinau, one of the Russian airlines, on board the Russian delegation, led by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, landed in Minsk, Interfax reports . The authorities of Romania and Hungary did not allow the liner to proceed to Moldova through their airspace.

Rogozin, special representative of the Russian president on Transnistria, co-chair of the Russian-Moldavian intergovernmental commission, was listed on the EU sanctions list in connection with the conflict in Ukraine.

According to Rogozin, the decision to fly to Moldova by a regular flight was connected with the incident that arose at the charter aircraft, which the Deputy Prime Minister flew to Chisinau several years ago and which the Romanian authorities tried to force to land. After that, Rogozin flew by the Russian airline S7, the routes of which are laid in the flight of Ukraine.

“There were no problems with the intersection of the Belarusian, Polish, Slovak, Romanian space,” Rogozin noted. “This time, Romania dispatchers from Bucharest contacted the board in order to clarify the passenger sheet and confirm that there was a delegation and its leader.

Hungary aviation authorities also refused to transit through their space and landing in Budapest.

Rogozin called the decision of the Romanian authorities not to miss a civilian aircraft, on which the Russian delegation was sent to Moldova for negotiations with Igor Dodon, a demarche to the Moldavian president. He is known for his pro -Russian position.

"The Romanian authorities endanated the life of passengers of the S7 Flight aircraft, women and children. There was enough fuel to Minsk. Wait for an answer, bastards," Rogozin wrote on Twitter.

The Russian Deputy Prime Minister was heading to Chisinau to negotiate with President Dodon on his personal invitation. The next day, along with the head of Moldova, he planned to go to Bender, where events should take place on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the "peacekeeping operation" in Transnistria.

On the eve of the visit of Rogozin, a protest was held at Kishenev airport. Her private traders held posters demanding the withdrawal of Russian troops from Transnistria, as well as photographs of those who died in an armed conflict in 1992. The driveways and passages to the VIP-hall of the Chisinau airport were blocked by the cordons of police officers.

For this week, Russian artists who were heading in Transnistria, as well as the “delegation of representatives of the Romanov House” were not allowed to be allowed in Moldova. The Moldovan authorities sent them from Kishenev Airport back to Moscow. Dodon called this a "provocation."

In May 2014, Rogozin, who was visiting Transnistria, said that Ukraine and Romania did not pass its aircraft through its airspace. "Romania, at the request of the United States, closed airspace on my board. Ukraine does not miss again," Rogozin wrote on Twitter. The deputy prime minister also threatened the next time to fly to Transnistria on a supersonic strategic Tu-160 bomber.
