OREANDA-NEWS Brazilian defender of the Russian Premier League (RPL) club Krasnodar Vitor Tormen told about annoying things in Russia. His words are quoted in the Telegram channel of journalist Fabio Aleixo.

The footballer said that he does not like long-distance trips in Russia because of restrictions on flights in some regions of the country. "Some trips are tedious. We arrive tired, the accumulation of games and trips starts to annoy," the 27-year-old player stressed.

The defender started playing for Krasnodar in August 2023. He moved to the club from Portuguese Braga. The Brazilian played ten matches with the Bulls.

Since February 24, 2022, Russia has closed part of its airspace in the south and central part of the country to civilian aircraft. The decision is connected with the conduct of a special military operation in Ukraine. Flight restrictions apply to airports in Anapa, Belgorod, Bryansk, Voronezh, Gelendzhik, Krasnodar, Kursk, Lipetsk, Rostov-on-Don, Simferopol and Elista.
