Emirates Successfully Flies Damaged Airbus A380 from Moscow to Dubai, Circumventing Western Sanctions
Emirates airline has ingeniously circumvented Western sanctions on Russia by flying a significantly damaged Airbus A380 back to Dubai. The aircraft encountered an unusual accident at Moscow Domodedovo Airport last Wednesday, where it was hit by a service truck, causing substantial damage to its undercarriage just before a scheduled flight to Dubai.

The headline on the app is misleading. No sanctions were violated. Get the headline correct.
The headline said "circumvented," not violated, but I agree that the article was misleading. Saying that Emirates "ingeniously circumvented Western sanctions" when all they did was move a flyable aircraft from one country to another - not all that "ingenious."
WTF is that even news?
Too many loop holes! And you wonder why the "crippling" sanctions against Russia aren't crippling Russia in their genocidal war against Ukraine.
Crippling sanctions? Hardly! Russia posted GDP growth of 3.6% in 2023 and the International Monetary Fund expects the economy to continue growing and rise 2.6% in 2024! Not only do they have a thriving and strong economy... our "sanctions" will ultimately lead to the demise of US dollar as the World currency. The Chinese Yuan is ready to step in, and with Russia assistance, will add billions of losses to the GDP of USA in trade. Biden is truly "The Timid Imbecile"!
Thats right Russia is a force!!!or a farce
California’s GDP in 2022 was $3.6T, representing 14.3% of the total U.S. economy. If California were a country, it would be the 5th largest economy in the world, and more productive than India and the United Kingdom.
The Russian federal budget in 2021 was only $270 billion (24.8 trillion rubles).
The Russian economy in 2023 outpaced both the United States and Europe in terms of growth, increasing in size by 3.6% despite being subject to a wide array of powerful economic sanctions and being cut off from major global markets.
However, growth appears to have been driven mostly by ramped-up spending on the military, as the Kremlin continues its full-scale invasion of Ukraine that it launched nearly two years ago, leading some economists to question whether the growth is sustainable and what side effects it might have.
"They're supporting defense industries. They're supporting employment. They're paying people bonuses to join the armed forces," Shatz said. "They're paying families for service members who are killed. They're paying service members who are wounded, who are lucky enough to get sent home."
The Kremlin has funded these outlays by increasing tax revenues, drawing down the national wealth fund, and most importantly, by borrowing. The government deficit is historically high right now, at nearly 10% of the overall budget.
One side effect of the stimulus has been relatively high inflation of 7.4% in 2023, down from 11.9% in 2022. In an effort to prevent inflation from getting out of control, the Russian central bank raised interest rates to about 16%.

Speaking of Imbecile how many times have you been been told you lack self awareness?
Emirates (OB DISC: They don't let people like me fly their airline or enter their country) flew a ferry route with an aircraft with a valid flight# (not required) on a published route (not required).
There's no circumvention there.
- No parts prohibited from being sold to Russia were sold to Russia
- The aircraft assumedly belonged to Emirates, not a Russian carrier, and hence they can go land in Russia and take off from Russia and fly to Dubai and take off from Dubai.
I'd go for "misleading headline."
