Get the dudes digging trenches in front of Crimea to build those roads instead
Just a thought, but may be they shouldn't have started a war of invasion then.
Not stealing western planes would be good too.
Who are "they"? Civilians who have to fly by plane because they have no other option?
The majority flying Aeroflot at this point are inherently "elite" or "elite-adjacent".
Making their life less convenient is literally the point of sanctions.
Uhm, I'd say those who fly Aeroflot are middle-class. You're not elite if you fly Aeroflot. Just not poor.
Like some of the roads they dug up to prevent getting couped by Wagner?
No, places in Siberia, the Arctic, the Far East. Say, there's no road between Norilsk and the rest of the country, the only practical way to go in/out of the city is by plane.
