Because of this, the Board made a “hook” to 500 km.
Board President of Russia Vladimir Putin, heading to the G20 summit in Hamburg, flew over part of the territories of NATO member countries.
Putin chose to fly to the G20 summit in Germany over neutral NATO Finland and Sweden, instead of a direct path over the Alliance members Poland, Latvia and Lithuania.
The aircraft with registration number RA-96022, which flew Putin, as seen on the FlightRadar24 map, made a hook at 500 km.
Earlier, the Russian President has repeatedly flown over the territories of Eastern NATO States. However, this time the reason why the ship was chosen for its route from Moscow to Hamburg over a long way not clear.
Earlier media reported that starting with a visit to France to meet with newly elected President Emmanuel Macron, Putin has used three airplanes, one of which flew directly to France, second in Serbia and third through Romania.
