Details: In recent days, a previously unseen charter-plane traffic is being observed between Russia and Turkey.
On day two of the closure of the EU airspace, "Ukrainska Pravda" recorded dozens of Turkish-registered charter planes flying between Moscow and Istanbul. Some planes make several flights a day between the two cities.
On March 3, Ukrainska Pravda was informed by Ukrainian intelligence that most members of the Russian elite were taking their relatives and friends out of Moscow to Georgia, Israel, and the UAE.
Russia's top political leadership continue to panic, and their distrust of Vladimir Putin is increasing, so they are evacuating families and looking for places to hide in case of escalating war.
