In an interview with the newspaper “Vedomosti” said Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. He did not rule out that Western airlines will be banned transit flights through Russian airspace
«Sanctions – always a double-edged story. And the one who first imposed sanctions, and ultimately dooms itself to the restrictions, “- said Dmitry Medvedev, answering the questions of” Vedomosti “. According to the head of the cabinet, never before in the history of the world economic and political sanctions did not lead to anything good. The least desirable scenario – a “breach of security in the world.” “I hope that our Western partners do not want it, and among those crazy people who make the decisions, not” – said Medvedev. However, in the case in respect of Russia will still be new restrictions, Moscow would have an asymmetrical response to which, in particular, affect the transport sector. Possible ban for western airlines for transit flights through Russian airspace, “If Western carriers will fly out of our airspace, it may lead to the bankruptcy of many airlines, which are already on the brink of survival. But it’s a bad story. Just wanted to make our partners at some point realized it. Especially that the sanctions did not exactly help establish peace in the Ukraine. ” Restrictions may be imposed in respect of Kiev: “Some parts of Ukraine also energy deficient and receive electricity from Russia. And he who receives not very smart decision to limit the supply of energy in the Crimea, should understand that there may be symmetric measures. ” Let me remind you, in the beginning of September, the Ukrainian authorities have introduced a limit on the supply of electricity to the Crimea, and warned of the possibility of a complete shutdown of the peninsula.
August 7, Dmitry Medvedev said that Russia may revise the rules for the use of Trans-Siberian routes. The Prime Minister did not rule out that Moscow would ban for western airlines to transit flights from Europe to Asia.
