This was stated by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova.

“Since March 1, we have stopped all air communication with South Korea by companies other than Aeroflot and Aurora,” Interfax quoted Golikova as saying.

She noted that Aurora will operate on a charter basis until the export of all Russians from South Korea.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, Aeroflot planes will fly from Seoul to Moscow.

She noted that with regard to Italy, introducing restrictive measures is “quite difficult”, as it is part of the EU.

Earlier, Rostourism called for abandoning trips to Italy, South Korea and Iran.
