Russia, yellow on a state flight: “On board Lavrov”

Yellow on the route of a Russian state flight. An Il-96 plane, headed from Moscow to the East, reversed its connecting route from Novosibirsk to return to the capital. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov would have been on board the plane – wrote the German newspaper Bild – who for unexplained reasons would have canceled a mission to Beijing. The Russian Foreign Ministry announced that Lavrov attended a press conference with his UAE counterpart, Abdullah Al Nahyan, at one o’clock this afternoon. But the plane landed in Moscow only at six in the afternoon (local time).
