Ukraine border guards force Russian pilots to sleep on planes, ‘threaten flights safety’ ― RT News

Russia’s largest air carrier Aeroflot says the actions of Ukrainian border guards threaten flight safety after its pilots were repeatedly banned from leaving airport terminals and had to sleep on planes overnight.

“The situation is absolutely unprecedented because, within our recollection, this has never happened anywhere before,” Aeroflot’s spokesman Andrey Sogrin told RT.
