Etihad Airways transports bears from Russia to Europe amid sanctions
What happened
Etihad Airways transported a pair of brown bears from Russia to an Irish forest. The relocation followed that Russian sanctions and the invasion forced a change in the animals' travel plans. The bears were rescued from a sanctuary in Dagestan, Russia, after being kept in poor conditions.

Why it matters
The transport operation was a logistical challenge due to the distance and the lack of direct flights between Russia and most European countries. The need to find a new route was necessitated by the invasion and subsequent sanctions imposed by Western countries.
Economic sanctions and naval blockades continue.
