Canada to send seized Antonov transport to Ukraine

An An-124-100 freighter belonging to Russian cargo carrier Volga-Dnepr Airlines (VI, Ulyanovsk Vostochny) that was seized at Toronto Pearson Airport ten months ago has racked up CAD305,655 Canadian dollars (USD224,055) in “parking fees” but is not going anywhere anytime soon, Canada’s transport minister Omar Alghabra has said. RA-82078 (msn 9773054559153) was detained on February 28 as Western countries began to impose sanctions against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine four days previously.
