WASHINGTON, March 1 (Reuters) - The U.S. government is set to announce a ban on Russian flights from American airspace following similar moves by the European Union and Canada, government and industry officials told Reuters.

The precise timing is unclear but is expected within the next 24 hours, the sources said.

Late on Tuesday, United Airlines said it has temporarily suspended flying over Russian airspace, joining other major U.S. carriers who have taken the step after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

imagine that. Those cheap goods from Vietnam and China must not have to fly over Russian air space.

Now when does Exxon Mobil divest from Rosfeld like BP and Shell have already done?

Time to send the kids in universities back to Russia. Every option must be acted upon.

Edited; Just found out that Exxon Mobil is pulling out of Russia, 1,000 US workers. It also said it would not be involved in future projects in Russia.
