Present actions of the Russian Federation in Ukraine are unacceptable, bad - just as the de-facto stealing of aircraft.
However, I think Russia shouldnīt be thrown out of ICAO - and, I would like them to re-gain their seat at the Council when the next election is up - donīt know when that is.
Size matters - Russia takes 8 hours to cross from one end to the other, much longer than any other State on earth. Suggest that they have know-how in flying that would be useful to the world, based on that fact alone.
