Key Takeaways:

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has suspended airworthiness certificates for all Russian aircraft and certifications for Russian aviation entities, as part of the EU's restrictive measures against Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
These measures prohibit technical assistance, goods, or technology to Russia and put all pending and new EASA certification applications on hold.
The suspensions are part of a wider international response, with Bermuda also cancelling certificates and aerospace companies cutting ties, leading to hundreds of leased Western-built aircraft potentially being confiscated and stranded in Russia.
