Russia will resume flights to and from 52 “friendly” countries and territories from Saturday (9), including Brazil, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin announced this Monday (4).
For this, the government will cancel the flight restrictions imposed due to the new coronavirus pandemic, both for scheduled and charter flights.
At the moment, it is possible to fly without restrictions to and from Russia from just 15 countries, including Qatar and Mexico, according to the Tass news agency.
