Sec. Blinken and a U.S. Congressional delegation

led by Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Gregory Meeks are in Poland. I was watching adsbexchange.com a couple hours ago and a C32A left Rzeszow Poland, were they were meeting various officials and "touring" the relief/refugee efforts, and landed in Moldova. I thought that was interesting as it wasnt on the schedule. Moldova has been dealing with their own Russian separatist movement for awhile, but could be in a position to "bend" some rules as they are not in the EU (They just applied) or NATO and are the only country as such that directly borders Ukraine. There has been a big increase in diplomatic flights around Eastern Europe in the last 48 hours. May mean nothing, but may show fluidity on the diplomatic front. Something to ponder.

It was on approach to the airport in Moldova. There's been a lot of traffic in and out of Rzeszow today.

Tankers have been up 24 hours a day, refueling something, NATO AWACs up 24 hours a day, C-17's by the ton from all sorts of countries, even 2 B-52 flying in tandem making lots of noise...Though Blinken's plane was going to land in Eastern Ukraine but landed in Moldova.
