Airline companies said that flights between Germany and Russia had resumed Wednesday evening, after a several-hour interruption as each country blocked the other's incoming flights as part of the fall-out from tensions over Belarus. "Russian authorities granted permission for Lufthansa to carry out flights to Russia in June. This means that Lufthansa flights to Moscow and Saint Petersburg can operate as planned," a spokeswoman for the airline told AFP. Russian airlines Aeroflot and S7 also announced flights would resume to Germany, according to Russian agencies TASS and Ria Novosti. dac/dl/har
