Russia prevented an Austrian Airlines flight from entering Moscow unless it crossed over Belarusian airspace, reports said.

Austrian Airlines said it canceled a cargo-passenger flight from Vienna to Moscow on Thursday.

Flight OS601 from Vienna was scheduled to arrive in Moscow on time, but the board at Domodedovo airport lists the flight as canceled. Earlier, the airline had refused to transit through Belarusian airspace on the way to Moscow.

Strange one. What difference does it make to the Russians wether a plane flies through Belarus or not?
