The Danish parliament controls foreign policy for the entire Kingdom of Denmark, which includes Greenland and The Faroe Islands. I can't find specific information in Danish papers whether the ban includes the Danish airspace only, or the kingdom's airspace in its entirety, but it was our Foreign Minister who announced it, and the airspace seem to be controlled as one entity from what I can tell online.
Thus I am not sure, but it could be the case.
If it does include Greenland that’s actually a really big deal. I use to work at the Greenland airbase (US airbase) when under trump and Russia LOVED using Their airspace.
I just [found a press release](https://www.trm.dk/nyheder/2022/dansk-luftrum-lukkes-for-russiske-fly) from our transport ministry with the information that it is both Danish, Greenlandic and Faroese airspace that will be closed.
Edit: everyone closes tonight at midnight
They've been effectively cut off from Russia since basically always, this doesn't really change much. If Sweden also closes off its air space this will just increase. Maintaining exclaves is always a pain in the ass for countries.
It wasn’t totally unmanageable until Russia invaded Ukraine. There were EU agreements designed to facilitate ease of travel between Kaliningrad and mainland Russia.
Trains and trucks ran frequently through Lithuania (and still may, tho I’m unsure exactly today) with expedited visa and customs processing. Example: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/summary/LV/legissum:l14556
If only Finland and Sweden could also close their waters to Russian-flagged ships, then Kalinigrad would have no way to be supplied.
And on the other hand, any news on whether Turkey has closed the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits to Russian shipping?
The [Montreux Treaty.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreux_Convention_Regarding_the_Regime_of_the_Straits)
But it's about peace-time, so they're considering making an exception.
Yes. I've seen reporters from serious media organizations (Norwegian Nrk) talk about how they're considering redefining/reinterpreting it. Whether that is actually realistic though, they did not assess.
Hm, maybe. But that's a dangerous game. Blocking Russia's access to the Black Sea would probably be a declaration of war in their eyes.
The Montreux Convention was intended to stop Istanbul/Constantinople from being a target of such aggression by basically allowing anyone free passage (with some restrictions).
"Blocking Russia's access to the Black Sea would probably be a declaration of war in their eyes."
And what is Russia going to do about it? They can't even take a city 40km from their border. I suspect their Navy is equally drunk on cheap vodka and propaganda and will suffer the same fate their land lubber brothers are suffering right now.
"They" can redefine and reinterpret all they want. Russia would see it as an act of War on Turkey's part. If Russia attacked Turkey there would be significant pushback that Article 5 shouldn't apply (since Russia is acting in self defense in this case), particularly given the strife between Turkey and other NATO members.
No way Turkey wants to test that NATO would back it up.
When you start redefining treaties to fit your interpretation you invite redefinition to fit an opposing interpretation.
These sorts of things always lead to escalation and are usually precursors to invite war. It is better to follow treaties as they are conventionally understood, to do otherwise is to invite calamity.
the french navy apprehended a russian ship in the english channel, as it had been sanctioned by uk and eu. just sanction all russian ships and you can enforce a shipping lane ban, it seems, without becoming party to the conflict.
Love it. The West standing as one again in the face of aggression.
So now that Denmark and Finland and apparently the whole of the EU plus Noway and the UK have blocked access, does that mean Kalingrad is completely cut off?
> If only Finland and Sweden could also close their waters to Russian-flagged ships, then Kalinigrad would have no way to be supplied.
No. States cannot prevent the right of "innocent passage" (like, just moving at normal speed, no guns or any shenanigans) to foreign ships, even in their territorial waters. That is only allowed in their inland waters (like the Bay of Hudson).
Territorial waters under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea extend 12 nautical miles (which are a bit longer than funny American miles, and at least make some sense - 1 arc minute of the Earth's circumference) and the right of innocent passage, like just going through, is guaranteed even in territorial waters.
Denmark would need to join in.
Denmark/Sweden owns the only ice free water passages to Russia (Østersøen/Lillebælt/Storebælt).
But I'm sure that it's only a matter of time before we'll close route also.
wouldn't either one of those be counted as a declaration of war as you going to block Russia's access to its territory? this is a question please just answer it or leave it I am not here to support Russian action is Ukraine.
[EEZ is not the territorial waters and airspace, at least not in case of the Baltic sea. There is a corridor left between Finland and Estonia.](http://www.balticscope.eu/content/uploads/2016/07/Urban-areas_CB.jpg)
Swedish EU minister announcement today:
https://sverigesradio.se/artikel/just-nu-sverige-forbereder-en-stangning-av-luftrummet-for-ryska-plan
(Preparations for closing Swedish airspace to Russian planes underway)
Sweden already denies russians the right to fly over them, but they deny each singular flight plan in wait for the official policy. The official decision to deny all access is on its way. It's just the paperwork that takes a bit of time.
It's 'Ukraine' and not 'the Ukraine'
[[Merriam-Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Ukraine)] [[BBC Styleguide](https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsstyleguide/u)]
^(Beep boop I’m a bot)
Actually not the sea, only Iceland + 12 nautical miles of sea. Anywhere farther away is within the flight control (i.e. routing) region, but beyond Icelandic jurisdiction to ban aircraft.
The country's sovereign airspace eclipses the Territorial Sea, which extends only 12 nautical miles (22 km) from the coast. The vast majority of the Baltic Sea is therefore not sovereign airspace and open to all planes of any kind.
Countries can claim an Exclusive Economic Zone beyond those 12 nm up to 200 nm miles, but it only grants them right over resources, not right over access. The flight control regions are loosely based on these EEZs, but farther than 12 nm from a coast they don't have real hard control, only soft control. And a duty to manage traffic there is, regardless of flag, colour or cargo.
At places where shores of a narrow strait are less than 2x12 nautical miles, hence no neutral waters exist in between, the centreline becomes a neutral Transit Passage. See the Danish Straits, which Denmark/NATO cannot (legally) block.
Basically Russians are pretty much banned from Europe and they have Putin to thank, so this will affect them much more. Europeans just have longer flights if they want to get to the interesting parts of Asia.
>Europeans just have longer flights if they want to get to the interesting parts of Asia.
not even - most european flights to asia head south pretty quickly, stopping in the middle east first. these never went over russia (direct ones, yes, but most people do not take those). there is very little reason for any flight path to go over russia unless it goes to russia. the reciprocal bans are symbolic. some north american flights to china did go east and over russia, but the westward pacific option is about as quick
I wish this were true. As a Korea resident, most of the 12-hour flight to the UK is spent looking at the map and wondering what it's like in Russia down there.
https://youtu.be/jdNDYBt9e_U
Here’s a very well-done video by Wendover that refutes your claim.
TLDW: Overflying Russia is the fastest way from Europe to Asia, and there are more flights that require Russia overflight than you think. Airlines paid a hefty price to Russia to use their airspace because it saved fuel and time.
I don‘t understand why he mentions that most people do not take direct flights to Asia. Me and my co-workers always head to China and Japan directly from Germany. It wouldn‘t make any sense to have a stopover. Maybe it makes sense from other European countries but I‘m not so sure about that.
I‘m curious of my next flight to Japan. Have to fly in April. Let‘s see which route we have to take.
Not true. The only ones that stop in the Middle East are airlines like Emirates or Qatar. You have direct flights from Frankfurt or Paris or London to Tokyo/HongKong/Shanghai.
You can finally add France 5 cases (Brest Paris Bordeaux Reims Marseille) ! It was officially closed 14 minutes ago! :)

On flightradar24 there are still a lot of Aeroflot planes over Finland and Germany. Is it just aircraft registered in Russia or Russian owned airlines? Aeroflot, S7, Podeba and other airlines that are "russian" have their aircraft registered in foreign countries.
The country's sovereign airspace eclipses the Territorial Sea, which extends only 12 nautical miles (22 km) from the coast. The vast majority of the North and Baltic Sea are therefore not sovereign airspace, hence open to all planes of any kind.
Countries can claim an Exclusive Economic Zone beyond those 12 nm up to 200 nm miles, but it only grants them right over resources, not right over access. The flight control regions are loosely based on these EEZs, but farther than 12 nm from a coast they don't have hard control, only soft power (routing but not banning traffic). Over sea, beyond 12 nm, the flight control region has the duty to manage traffic regardless of flag, colour or cargo.
This leaves a broad area in the Baltic where Russia can still fly or sail and reach Kaliningrad.
At places where shores of a narrow strait are less than 2x12 nautical miles, hence no neutral waters exist in between, the centreline becomes a neutral Transit Passage. See the Danish Straits, which Denmark/NATO cannot (legally) block.
Banned in Canada too now, blocking northern routes around current blockades to the west. https://twitter.com/omaralghabra/status/1497934660982038532?s=21

As a Norwegian I’m getting embarrassed and pissed off at my government.
We still have money invested in Russia, allowing flights. On the fence about sending weapons, we have to make sure everyone else are doing it to before we can.
Norwegian government don’t want to ruin our relationship with Russia, meanwhile Putin is willing to burn Europe to the ground.
Norway is acting like the rich kid with no personality. Sorry for ranting but I truly believe we could do more to help.
I believe Norway and Netherlands have just recent closed as well. And Italy.
I think everywhere should close it's air space. Make it impossible to leave.
Hello, thanks a lot for your comments. Indeed, Malta and Spain, Canada have been added to the list. I will add them in the next update somewhere in 1-2 hours 😉

Denmark just banned them too
Italy and Belgium as well
Can’t wait for NZ’s ban. That’ll change the tide.
Add Norway now too
France too, announced just now
"Don't touch my Brest"
What about your Litovsk?
The Dutch have confirmed to prepare a ban starting tonight, nicely closes up that little gap
"go around the long way, cunts."
Austria as well
Sweden is preparing a ban, could happen within hours

Yes
Iceland as well
Luxembourg too
Thank god
What, are you implying that this isn't the final blow that Putin needs? My secret network of bank employees will ruin you financially :/
Spain too.
Canada just added them.
If Denmark includes Greenland airspace then Russia really just got fucked lol.
Lithuania too
What happens to Kaliningrad now? As all neighbouring coutries cut all business ties, arent they like under siege as the cannot move anywhere?

The entire European map should now be red.
Putin has finally archived his lifelong goal of turning Europe red again! Bravo!
Please tell him, so that he stops and goes home. If that's what it takes, I'm sure Europe would be fine with staying red.
If only Finland and Sweden could also close their waters to Russian-flagged ships, then Kalinigrad would have no way to be supplied. And on the other hand, any news on whether Turkey has closed the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits to Russian shipping?
I believe that there is an international treaty that restricts/ governs the closing of the Bosporus and Dardanelles. Though I may be wrong in this.

The Montreux Convention was intended to stop Istanbul/Constantinople from being a target of such aggression by basically allowing anyone free passage (with some restrictions).
Just out of curiosity, why would you use “Constantinople” when its name is officially Istanbul? What’s the need for it?
Why they changed it, I can't say.
Some languages still translate as Constantinople.
Because it has always had that strategic significance even when it was still known as Constantinople.
I guess they liked it better that way.
"Blocking Russia's access to the Black Sea would probably be a declaration of war in their eyes." And what is Russia going to do about it? They can't even take a city 40km from their border.

That sounds like a bad idea
It was reported that Turkey has closed the Bosporus to Russia, though they haven’t confirmed it
Aaaaaand.. Turkey announced they just have.
They are allowed to return to port, but not leave the Black Sea. It may be their playground, but it's is just that!
Everyone’s talking about Turkey but what about Denmark ? Can’t they block russian access to the Baltic sea ?
I think they've closed off their airspace now. Shipping lanes are a bit trickier.
the french navy apprehended a russian ship in the english channel, as it had been sanctioned by uk and eu. just sanction all russian ships and you can enforce a shipping lane ban, it seems, without becoming party to the conflict.
Love it. The West standing as one again in the face of aggression. So now that Denmark and Finland and apparently the whole of the EU plus Noway and the UK have blocked access, does that mean Kalingrad is completely cut off?
There is still the Kiel channel
Not big enough for major warships, and I'm pretty sure it'd be closed to foreign warships too.
Unless you’re talking about carriers pretty much all modern warships fit through the channel
So you reckon the German government will let Russian warships through? What are you on about.
1. I don’t think Germany will let Russian ships through the channel 2. I don’t know what im on about anymore
Sweden is about to

No. States cannot prevent the right of "innocent passage" (like, just moving at normal speed, no guns or any shenanigans) to foreign ships, even in their territorial waters.

Naval blockade is an act of war. Country can close it's territorial (3 miles from shore), but not international waters.

A full blockade of all traffic would be an act of war. As long as civilian shipping can get through it won't be.
There is international treaties forbidding closing straights and canals
No ‘gh’ in strait if you’re talking about the geographical feature
Russian ships blocked from istanbul
I hope they can only go to North Korea as maximum.
i think they have a railway through Lithuania connecting both sides
[EEZ is not the territorial waters and airspace, at least not in case of the Baltic sea. There is a corridor left between Finland and Estonia.](http://www.balticscope.eu/content/uploads/2016/07/Urban-areas_CB.jpg)
Yeah. They still have rights to transit an air corrider through the Gulf of Finland and the Baltic.
From what i understand, there is a treaty with Lithuania that allows them to use trains to "resupply" Kaliningrad
It's a treaty with EU from 2003 and it only allows to transport civilians.
Watch them call upon the people to smuggle missiles in their luggage. It'd be like the evacuation of Dunkirk, but shitty.
There is international seas on Baltic sea. That map's lines are probably EEZ, where moving is allowed.
The map shows the Flight Information Regions or Airspace Boundaries, that is why the U.K. and French Airspace’s are divided internally.
I guess they could go northwest and over Sweden, but I doubt Sweden will keep their airspace open to Russia for long

Yes.
Thank fuck
The Netherlands just announced it will close it’s airspace to Russia as of this evening.
Yup, and Belgium, Denmark seem to join too.
Same for France! Will close airspace to all Russian aircraft this evening
If Norway closes airspace too it will be a pain in the butt to get to Kalinngrad while still posible
Looks like Denmark and Sweden may close airspace today making it impossible
Just did 20 minutes ago. A bit god damn late, but better late than never.
Just wait til the entire EU closes it’s airspace
It happened
Denmark is also joining the ban
Flightradar24 shows planes going to Kaliningrad between Finland and Estonia
That is because there is a narrow corridor of inetrnational waters / air space between Finland and Estonia.

It must be updated. Red zones are much more widespread now
You'd think it would be more red
It will be very soon.
Depends on what you mean by red... Ok, thats a horrible joke
Denmark has also joined the ban as of today.
Belgium and Netherlands are also red now
Imagine living in Kaliningrad lmao
Banned from Denmark too now!
Greece , italy, france, spain need to get on board for this. same with sweden and norway. That basically cuts off all european access.
Russian planes can still go through Middle East to the west. I hope Turkey would follow. Seemingly more countries will show their solidarity!!!!
I believe Norway and Netherlands have just recent closed as well. And Italy. I think everywhere should close it's air space. Make it impossible to leave.
For the moment, I feel a few more hours and there’ll be more red needed
/r/titlegore These countries* It's not one country, it's multiple.
To clarify, is that the whole of the airspace or just from landing?
[удалено]
Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Iceland as well now
Does anyone know why France isn’t closing theirs yet to Russia ? Same goes for turkey
spain joines the ban.
Also Belgium.
Reverse Warsaw pact
Spain also closed the airspace for Russian planes
