Latest updates: Ukrainian president vows to continue fighting in video address; French president says he has not spoken with Putin since mass killings discovered in Ukraine
A plane sent from Moscow to collect expelled Russian diplomats from Spain and then onto Greece was forced to make a 15,000km detour because of an EU flight ban, according to data obtained by FlightRadar.
“While Spain and Greece made a one-time exception for the aircraft to enter their airspace, the flights navigated around other countries that maintain bans on Russian flights,” the flight tracking website said. “The total length of the flights was 15,163 km, just shy of the current world’s longest flight between Singapore and New York.”
