"The authorities in Sri Lanka have grounded a civilian aircraft
belonging to Russian carrier 
Aeroflot, and seized the plane.
The Colombo High
Commercial Court reportedly issued the arrest warrant following a
complaint filed by Irish company Celestial Aviation Trading Limited,
which is affiliated with aircraft lessor GECAS.
After Western
states placed sanctions on Russia, aircraft lessors demanded that Moscow
return leased planes for fear of secondary sanctions, as the
restrictions barred them from pursuing financial relations with Russian
air carriers." RT
