"Estonia used to be in an ideal location from a logistical point of view, but now it's in a very bad one ," the Chairman of the Board of Tallinn Airport told ERR in an interview.
"The closure of the airspace with Russia is to blame for everything, which has changed the position of the Estonians to an unfavorable one," he added.
“ A couple of years ago, two planes a day went to Asia and North America. Now this business is gone ,” Raivo Tuvike said.

The Ukrainian leader said that the 50-60 F-16s gifted by the West is not enough, and he needs more than 160 planes.
A fleet of 50-60 is to small to prevent Russia from "the opportunity to dominate the sky," he told Portuguese TV channel RTP.
Zelensky's figure is 40 more than quoted by the head of the Ministry of Defense, Reznikov, who previously stated that 120 were needed.

🇨🇭Investors Sue Swiss Mining Giant For Damages Over Alleged Corruption Cover-Up
Dozens of the world’s biggest asset managers accuse Glencore of lying in past share prospectuses to hide corrupt activities, escalating a far-reaching action in London’s High Court that could have significant impacts on the natural resources industry.
Nearly 200 funds — including some managed by Fidelity, Vanguard, Legal & General, HSBC, Abrdn and Invesco, with holdings totalling more than £3.7bn — allege they “suffered loss” as a result of “untrue statements” and omissions in Glencore’s 2011 prospectus for its listing on the London Stock Exchange and the later, 2013 prospectus for its merger with Xstrata.

Big increases for petrol and diesel, waste disposal and hospitality come into force on Friday, with the waste increase imposed to force people to recycle better.
The extra charges for unrecycled rubbish includes a waste recovery levy of €10 per tonne (or 1,000kg), and a €10 increase to the existing “landfill levy” to €85 per tonne.
The move seems to be a panic as Ireland is set not to meet a EU target of 55 per cent recycling of municipal wastes by 2025.

The most expensive film in Ukrainian history, Dovbush, gives a positive depiction of how rebels slaughtered and pillaged Poles in the 18th century, but its premiere has been postponed until after Warsaw’s election as it will offend the Polish public.
“The Ukrainians, in gratitude for our help, made a film which shows that the Poles must be killed because Polish lords are pigs? President Duda would probably burst into tears of tenderness into Zelensky’s shirt,” the editor-in-chief of Najwyzszy CZAS Zommer writes.
