Look at any map of central Europe. Now try to get by plane from Moscow to Kaliningrad. You'd have to have a plane that managed to go right down a strip in the center of the Baltic. If that's even possible. *That* will be a problem.

This doesn't let Peskov off the hook--he's just doing the Russian "I'm the victim!" drivel. That kind of warped mindset is ensconced in a verb going back at least 170 years, yabednichat'. "Ya" = "I". "Beden" = &quot am) poor." It means to whine, complain by exaggerating or falsely claiming victimization. Literally, something along the lines of to (falsely) claim and say over and over, "I'm poor!" ("therefore you have to have sympathy for me and take my side&quot .

Peskov yabednichaet.

Had any country gotten notice that a plane carrying a high-level diplomatic official on the way to the UN that plane would have been cleared for fly-over.

Now, that said, how about we impose crushing sanctions on Belorus and make Lukashenka squeal like a stuck pig ... to Putain?
