[CNN] Moscow flight cancellations rank highest worldwide
quote:
The number of canceled flights to and from Moscow’s Sheremetyevo International Airport rank the highest worldwide as western governments continue closing airspace to Russian aircraft.
One in every five departing and arriving flights from Sheremetyevo have been canceled as of 12:30 p.m. ET Monday, according to data on flight tracking site FlightAware. The airport is the largest in Russia, according to its website.
Russian carrier Aeroflot has canceled one-quarter of its Monday flight schedule and delayed another 10% of flights, FlightAware said.
Europe and Canada have banned Russian flights from entering their airspace, leaving some aircraft to take circuitous routes.
Late Sunday, Aeroflot Flight 111 from Miami to Moscow “violated the prohibition put in place” by Canadian aviation officials.
“We are launching a review of the conduct of Aeroflot and the independent air navigation service provider, NAVCAN, leading up to this violation,” Transport Canada tweeted. “We will not hesitate to take appropriate enforcement action and other measures to prevent future violations."
Aeroflot has now canceled the same flight scheduled for Tuesday.
On Friday, Delta Air Lines announced it was ending its codeshare booking partnership with Aeroflot. Delta said it would re-accommodate passengers on the handful of flights impacted by the move.

[The Guardian] The European parliament will on Tuesday adopt a resolution calling on the EU institutions to work towards granting EU candidate status to Ukraine and in the meantime to continue to work towards integration into the EU single market
quote:
The call from MEPs follows images from Kyiv of president Volodymyr Zelenskyy signing the formal letter of application for EU membership.
An EU official has explained the process. The letter of application is written to the president of the council of the EU which is currently held by France.
Member states, the European parliament and national parliaments are then informed of the application by the council.
A meeting of the 27 EU affairs ministers, known as the general affairs council, needs to take a decision to formally seek the European Commission’s opinion on the application.
It would normally take 15 to 18 months for a commission to issue its opinion although that period could be significantly shortened “depending on the political considerations”, the official said.
There is a pre-accession period of varying length, during which the candidate country adapts its institutions, standards and infrastructure to enable it to meet its obligations as a member state. The accession process involves compliance with the accession criteria including adoption and implementation of EU law.

FIFA and IOC are corrupt as frick, but they like money and Russia doesn't have that much. China and the oil sheikdoms do, so we will get Olympics and World Cups there.

[CNN] Twitter will label all content that contains links to Russian state media, company says
quote:
Twitter will now label all content that contains links to Russian state media and will demote that content algorithmically, the company said, as tech platforms have come under greater pressure to respond to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The move goes beyond previous steps that Twitter has taken in years past to label Russian state media accounts on the platform.
Since the invasion began, the "overwhelming majority" of Russian state media content appearing on Twitter has been shared by individuals, not the state media organizations' own accounts, the company said. Over the past week, individuals have shared more than 45,000 tweets per day containing media from Russian state outlets.
Monday's change will mean that any link shared by a user to a Russian state media organization's website will automatically receive a label, warning viewers that the tweet "links to a Russia state-affiliated media website."
"In addition to the label, we will reduce the visibility and amplification of this content site-wide, no matter who it comes from," said Twitter spokesperson Trenton Kennedy. "This means that Tweets sharing state media content won’t be amplified — they won’t appear in Top Search and won’t be recommended by Twitter."
Content from state media outlets of other countries will also receive the same treatment "in the coming weeks," Kennedy added.

[FoxNews]Zelenskyy reports back on 'peace' talks': Second round of negotiations to happen in 'near future'
quote:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a second round of negotiations with Russian officials will "take place in the near future." Russian and Ukrainian officials met for the first round of discussions Monday near the Belarus-Ukraine border.
"Ukrainian and Russian delegations held the first round of negotiations in the area of the Ukraine-Belarus border in order to find common ground for the fastest ceasefire. The parties discussed in detail a number of key topics on which they have prospects for finding mutually acceptable decisions," a memo from Zelenskyy says.
"A decision was made to immediately hold additional consultations in the capitals of the states. After that, the second round of negotiations of Ukrainian and Russian parties is to take place in the near future."

I think I'd agree with labeling Ukrainian and Russian media outlets, but not changing the algorithm to demote one over the other.

If a ruse that is so obviously such is savvy, then its genius lies in its transparency, yes?

I am no Biden apologist, but Afghanistan cannot be laid at his feet. The moment US went in without a clear and full fleshed out exit strategy, it was always going to end that way.

Lol, Russia State Media complaining about being labeled as Russian State Media.

Twitter just added the “Russian state media affiliated” label to my account.
@TwitterGov @TwitterSupport I am asking for the immediate removal of this label, due to the fact that I am an individual journalist who does not speak for Russia or Russian media.

No shite. I'm answering a question in regards to the specific topic at hand.

No, it wasn't always going to end like that
The Taliban taking back over? Yes.
The final days of being trapped at the airport, Marines getting killed, and abandoning civilians? Just no.

The completely fricked up withdrawal that led to those Marines being killed and US citizens left behind most certainly can.

This isn’t entirely discouraging. Clearly there’s something on the table and he’s trying not to make Putin look bad

Disagree. That was a poor AF exit strategy.
I think the Biden Admin is not a good admin but I will say that I do think the Biden admin did a great job of releasing classified info re: Russias attack and attempt to create false flag operations.
That was masterclass. I do think it threw Russia off but I believe without him doing that we wouldn't have the global unity that we have now.
It was also a big boost to American credibility.
