❗️Key points from statements by Alexander Maslennikov, Deputy Secretary of Russia’s Security Council:

📍 As the conflict in the Middle East develops, attempts by outside forces to artificially undermine Russia’s food security cannot be ruled out;

📍 A three-month blockade of the Strait of Hormuz would threaten food security above all in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt;

📍 The conflict around Iran creates risks for Russia’s food security, but also opens up opportunities for agricultural producers;

📍 Because of events in the Middle East, European farmers are being forced to switch to fertilizers from North Africa, North America, and Russia;

📍 If the current dynamics of the Middle East conflict persist into summer, the world could face the largest wave of food inflation in years;

📍 A prolonged Middle East crisis could increase the number of hungry people worldwide by 45 million, bringing the total to a record 673 million;

📍 The continuation of the Middle East crisis makes corn producers and European greenhouse farms the most vulnerable parts of the agricultural sector.

✈️ The story of a Russian Airbus A321 (registration VP-BOE) operated by Aeroflot, which has been stranded on the ground in Geneva since February 2022. Because Russian aircraft were banned from European airspace, it was unable to return to Russia. Left abandoned at Geneva Airport without proper maintenance, it may never fly again.

The aircraft landed in Geneva at around 3:00 p.m. on February 27, 2022, and was due to depart for Moscow an hour later. But events moved quickly that afternoon. One by one, Switzerland’s neighbors — Germany, Austria, Italy, and France — closed their airspace to Russian aircraft. The Aeroflot A321 ended up at the end of the runway in Geneva, but was never cleared for takeoff. Passengers and crew were forced to make their way back to Russia on other flights, including via Turkey.

The aircraft was abandoned in haste and went without servicing. The fuel tanks were not even drained. Inside, it reportedly looked as though everything had been left exactly as it was on February 27. More importantly, the plane was not protected against the weather or against the kind of damage that can be caused by animals or insects.

🛠️ To prevent deterioration, a grounded passenger aircraft has to be properly prepared for storage. That would normally include sealing off openings — especially the engines — and other sensitive parts of the aircraft, as well as thoroughly treating the engines by lubricating them and protecting them from moisture with large packs of silica gel. The wheels also need to be rotated regularly to prevent excessive wear from the aircraft’s weight resting on the same spot.

What will happen to the plane now? Switzerland’s Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA), Geneva Airport, and the Bermuda Civil Aviation Authority, where the aircraft is registered, have all redirected questions to the owner.
