I think US just kicked out 12 Russian UN Diplo folks from NY and maybe from DC too.
Since Russian Airlines are banned from US maybe a Russian Govt under UN shuttle rules to pick up?
I recall back when Pres Obama kicked a bunch out including ones near here in Maryland and they
showed pics on KIAD tarmac of tons of luggage and folks boarding.
Note the projected flight path of RSD88 avoiding Iceland and Canada. I guess Finland,Sweden,Norway gave them a pass
on this flight but that could change.They could loop North and avoid those airspaces if need be.

Plus at least two B52 aircraft

From CNN --


"The US flew B-52 bombers over NATO's eastern flank on Friday
From CNN's From Oren Liebermann

The United States flew B-52 Stratofortress bombers over NATO’s eastern flank on Friday, exercising with the German and Romanian militaries in a sign of unity as the Russian invasion of Ukraine enters its second weekend.
The largest strategic bombers in the US Air Force took off from RAF Fairford, a Royal Air Force station in England, and conducted close air support and integration mission training, according to a statement from US Air Forces in Europe.
The B-52s then flew to Romania, where they conducted more close air support training as part of the bomber task force (BTF) missions.
The flight over Romanian airspace put the bombers right on the edge of NATO countries, adjacent to Ukrainian air space, where the Russian air force is trying to establish air supremacy.
“BTF rotations give us a critical opportunity to integrate and train with our allies and partners, especially during this difficult time,” said Gen. Jeff Harrigian, commander of United States Air Forces in Europe, Air Forces Africa, and NATO’s Allied Air Command."
