Russia has issued a formal request to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in Montreal this week to temporarily lift sanctions affecting spare parts and overflight operations for international air travel. The Russian delegation argues these sanctions are unduly restrictive and interfere with legitimate aviation activities. Moscow contends that the current measures are an unlawful coercive measure, reflecting a perceived lack of understanding of the vital role aviation plays in global trade and security. The organization is expected to review the situation and consider potential modifications to the sanctions.
