    Visiting relatives, working, studying, being a refugee etc are still on the table for those who are able to do that. I find it pretty reasonable due to the situation and not as huge of a barrier as the difference in average person’s wealth between countries and how it’s expensive and hard to get there in the first place. That kinda underlines the kind of people who can afford a vacation there. Can’t remember when I checked the tickets’ price but them alone were a ±yearly wage for a regular clerk from the countryside, and this is a leisure for the same group that can afford buying property in Dubai and who actively benefits from the war, corruption, power and siphoning natural resources. It’s more surprising this exact measure isn’t a usual occurence in Europe.
