Is it me or are Wizz enormously exposed to the crisis in Ukraine and the geopolitical situation in the former Eastern block right now?
The exposure to the crisis in Ukraine is a true issue, but do you really think the same about the "former Eastern block" countries? Hungary, Poland, Latvia and Lithuania, even Bulgaria and Romania, all are EU states and members of NATO. Okay, the situation can worsen even further, but then we have to consider the World War Three, God protect us.

Having said this, it's certainly more save to serve Ukraine from the Polish easternmost airports and Russia from Riga or the Finnish border than flying directly there. Ryanair didn't start St. Petersburg flights as expected, welcome both to Lappeenranta.
