Feb 25 (Reuters) - British transport minister Grant Shapps said in a tweet on Friday that no Russian private jet can fly in UK airspace or touch down, effective immediately.

"Putin's actions are unlawful and anyone benefitting from Russia's aggression in Ukraine is not welcome here. I've strengthened our ban in the UK so that no Russian private jet can fly in UK airspace, or touchdown – effective immediately," Shapps tweeted.

1. No Russia ship should be allowed in any port in the EU or America or Japan, etc.

[Beachnutt]

2. HELL YES

More countries should follow the lead

[fierywoman]

3. No fuel en route for Russian ships and airplanes. May many other desirable locations

also ban private Russian jets from their airspace.

[Emile]

4. They need to seize the Russian oligarchs foreign owned properties

all over the world too!

[SunSeeker]

18. Yes indeed. nt

6. Other countries should do the same.

[Cha]

7. Good on UK.. Rt TY!

[Phoenix61]

8. They should be banned from everywhere.

Maybe if they’re stuck at home with Pooty-Poot they’ll take corrective action.

[SheltieLover]

9. Yup!

10. And deny their stinkpot yachts anchorage...

that'll get the oligarch gangsters right where they park their rotten asses.

[Hekate]

12. Coming in to anchor will take the yachts out of international waters. That could be a good thing.

14. I wish the airspace over Ukraine would be a no fly zone

Last night a member of the Ukrainian parliament said that the NATO countries must declare the airspace off limits for Ukraine to give a fair chance to keep Russia from winning. Adam Kinzinger was just on CNN and he said the same thing. What are the NATO countries waiting for?

[James48]

17. Huh?

You asked “What are the NATO countries waiting for ?

Well, NATO is a defensive alliance of MEMBER nations. We can’t just go and shoot down other nations aircraft. That would be an act or war.

We can legally supply arms. We cant legally supply an air force including pilots. Ukraine has to do the heavy lifting here.

[ancianita]

15. ALL the EU should refuse private jets in their airspace. Have they?

[Bev54]

16. Seize any jets that are on the ground

[yaesu]

19. I've been researching UN no fly zones & the UN can implement one under their Chapter 7 charter

The legal authority for creating no-fly zones comes from Chapter 7, Article 42 of the U.N. Charter,

BUT, Russia has the ability to veto it so it won't happen.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

21. Russians needs a time out from the UN.

Suspend them. The futility of not doing so costs us all.

[yaesu]

23. Yes, I agree. nt

[SleeplessinSoCal]

20. Do svidaniya Londongrad!

[L. Coyote]

22. Better idea, allow them to land

but not to take off again
