The population picked this government and they’re not fighting it, not arguing with it, not shouting at it.”Zelensky claimed that the West banning Russian travelers was the only way to prevent Russia from annexing Ukrainian territory. Russian airlines have already been banned from flying over most of Europe and North America, but a blanket ban on Russian travel hasn’t been implemented. Any attempt to isolate Russia or Russians is a process that has no prospects.”Dave DeCamp Dave DeCamp is the news editor of Antiwar.com, follow him on Twitter @decampdave.
