Customer reviews

I bought this for Christmas and my daughter loves it. I took one star off because half of the 50 items are stickers. She loves it so I'm good with it.

We just opened this on Christmas and the exit door is already broke off. I stuck it back on but the plastic is ruined so it keeps falling off. MGA won’t help as this was a gift from the police department. So I have a child with a broken Christmas present now.

We had the “black” version previously! It had a lot of use, so we needed a fresh upgrade for my two daughters! There is no improvement in this craft versus prior models (as far as I can see), but the color is fresh! It is pretty well built and very versatile!

Does not come with dolls. Kinda disappointing for the price. Still a pretty neat toy.

I bought this for my niece for Christmas, well worth it hours of fun with working lights but can't find the sounds. Can anyone help please

my child loved this is a definate recommend she inwrapped it and thank me so much!

Putin to travel to Mongolia next week despite an ICC warrant for his arrest

Russia Kursk Incursion FILE - Russian President Vladimir Putin, left, leads a meeting with top security and defense officials at the Novo-Ogaryovo state residence outside of Moscow, Russia, on Aug. 12, 2024, to discuss the fighting in the Kursk and Belgorod border regions of Russia. (Gavriil Grigorov, Sputnik, Kremlin Pool Photo via AP, File) (Gavriil Grigorov/AP)

Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit Mongolia next week, the Kremlin said Thursday, despite the country being a member of the International Criminal Court, which last year issued a warrant for his arrest.

The visit, scheduled for Sept. 3, will be Putin's first trip to an ICC member state since the warrant was issued in March 2023 over suspected war crimes in Ukraine.

Under the court’s founding treaty, the Rome Statute, ICC members are bound to detain suspects for whom an arrest warrant has been issued by the court, if they set foot on their soil.

But the court doesn't have any enforcement mechanism. In a famous case, then Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir wasn't arrested in 2015 when he visited South Africa , which is a member of the court, sparking angry condemnation by rights activists and the country's main opposition party.

The Kremlin, which had previously stressed that it doesn't recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC, didn't comment on the prospects of Putin being arrested in Mongolia.

According to the Kremlin's online statement, Putin will travel to Mongolia upon the invitation of President Ukhnaa Khurelsukh “to participate in the ceremonial events dedicated to the 85th anniversary of the joint victory of the Soviet and Mongolian armed forces over the Japanese militarists on the Khalkhin Gol River.” Putin will also hold talks with Khurelsukh and other top Mongolian officials, the statement read.

The ICC has accused Putin of personal responsibility for the abductions of children from Ukraine , where Moscow has fought a devastating war for the last 2½ years.

It was the first time the global court has issued a warrant against a leader of one of the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council. The ICC said in a statement that Putin "is allegedly responsible for the war crime of unlawful deportation of (children) and that of unlawful transfer of (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation."

The Kremlin has dismissed the warrant as “null and void.”

Putin hasn't traveled to ICC member states ever since. Putin skipped a summit of the BRICS bloc of developing economies last year in South Africa.

South Africa lobbied Moscow for months for Putin not to attend to avoid the diplomatic fallout since the country is an ICC member, and ultimately announced the countries had reached a “mutual agreement” that Putin not attend a meeting he's normally a fixture at. The Kremlin said that Putin had decided not to attend in person. He instead took part in the summit in Johannesburg by video link, during which he launched a tirade against the West.

Last, year, the Kremlin also bristled at old ally Armenia over its decision to join the ICC , adding to the growing tensions between Moscow and Yerevan. Armenian officials, however, quickly sought to assure Russia that Putin wouldn't be arrested if he entered the country.

Flying time between cities.

Travelmath provides an online flight time calculator for all types of travel routes. You can enter airports, cities, states, countries, or zip codes to find the flying time between any two points.

Seven killed in 'most massive' Russian air attack, Ukraine says

Russia has launched one of its biggest air attacks on Ukraine of the war so far, the head of the Ukrainian air force has said.

At least seven people were killed and dozens wounded as missiles and drones were fired into more than half of Ukraine's regions on Monday.

Power infrastructure was hit, causing widespread blackouts, as the entire country was put under air raid alert and told to take shelter.

Russia confirmed it had launched attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure - one of its long-term tactics - and said all its targets were hit.

The barrage of missile and drone attacks began across the country overnight on Monday and continued into the morning.

And much later in the day a civilian infrastructure building was struck by a Russian missile in the eastern city of Kryvyi Rih, leaving one woman dead and another five presumed missing, local military administration head Oleksandr Vilkul said on Telegram.

According to Mykola Oleshchuk, the commander of Ukraine's air force, Russia launched 127 missiles and 109 attack drones overnight and into Monday morning. Out of them, Ukraine shot down 102 missiles and 99 drones, he said on Telegram.

Mr Oleshchuk called the combined strike "the most massive aerial attack”.

Nato member Poland said an "object" entered its territory during the attack.

"Most likely it was a drone and we assume so, because the trajectory of the flight and the speed indicate that it was definitely not a missile," said army spokesman Jacek Goryszewski, quoted by Reuters.

Nato spokesperson Farah Dakhlallah condemned the attacks on Ukraine and said that breaches of Nato airspace by Russia were "irresponsible and potentially dangerous", the agency said.

Previously, an attack last December when 158 missiles and drones were fired at Ukraine, had been considered the largest attack so far.

While the main target of this attack was energy infrastructure, it was also an attempt by Moscow to strike at Ukraine's reserves of another key resource: morale.

Ukrainians have been electrified by the recent successful incursion of their troops deep into Russian territory in the Kursk region.

With Monday's strikes, Russia was intending to bring ordinary people in Ukraine back down to earth with a bump - reminding them, and politicians in Western capitals, that the Kremlin still has the upper hand in this war.

The message from Moscow was make no mistake, Russia can still inflict misery on the Ukrainian population whenever it chooses.

Dozens wounded

Some 15 regions of Ukraine were targeted by Russia in the strikes, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said earlier - using weapons including drones, cruise missiles and supersonic missiles.

"There are wounded and dead," Mr Shmyhal said on the Telegram social media app.

Dozens of people were injured, and those who died included:

• Two men - one aged 69 and another aged 47 - were killed in separate attacks in the Dnipropetrovsk region, local governor Sergiy Lysak said. Others were injured including a 14-year-old girl, he added
• A man was killed when his house was hit in Zaporizhzhia, said the area's governor
• The mayor of Lutsk said one person had been killed when an "infrastructure facility" was hit. Five others were wounded and most parts of the city had no running water, he added
• In Izyum in Kharkiv region, a man was killed in a missile strike, the regional head said
• And in Zhytomyr region in western Ukraine, a woman died after homes and infrastructure buildings were hit by missiles, the governor said.

The attacks caused serious damage to infrastructure, with power outages reported in many cities - including Kyiv - and water supplies disrupted.

One of the remaining power stations – a hydroelectric plant north of Kyiv – was one of the latest targets. The damage is still being assessed.

Russia has been targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure since early on in its full-scale invasion, which began in February 2022.

In recent months it has renewed its campaign of attacks on the power grid, causing frequent blackouts across the country.

In June, President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia had destroyed half of his country’s electricity-generating capacity since it began pummelling its energy facilities in late March.

Ukraine is buying energy from the European Union. However, this is not enough and so most days, the country has a planned nationwide blackout to protect critical needs such as hospitals and military sites.

Russia's defence ministry said it attacked electricity and gas facilities, as well as sites storing Western weapons.

"All designated targets were hit, resulting in power outages and disrupted rail transport of weapons and ammunition to the front line," it said.

It has been a year of bad news on the battlefield for Kyiv, with Russia gaining ground steadily in the eastern Donbas region.

There have been problems with mobilisation and reports that Ukraine is running out of men.

But following Ukraine's surprise incursion into Kursk, the videos of soldiers hoisting the Ukrainian flag over Russian villages they had seized gave a badly-needed boost to Ukrainian morale.

And it showed the West that Kyiv is still capable of carrying out complex, daring and - most importantly - successful offensives.

On Monday, Mr Zelensky called on Western allies including Britain, America and France to change their rules and let Ukraine use their weapons to strike deeper inside Russia.

Ukraine is allowed to use some Western weapons to hit targets inside Russia - but not long-range weapons.

And he said "we could do much more to protect lives" if European air forces worked with Ukraine's air defence.

Also on Monday, Ukraine tried to attack an oil refinery in Yaroslavl, a city north-east of Moscow, according to the regional governor. No casualties or damage have been reported.

And Russia's defence ministry said it had destroyed nine drones over its Saratov region, which is 560 miles (900km) from the Ukrainian border.

• Many major airlines still operate scheduled services to Russia, including Emirates, Ethiopian Airlines, Air China, Turkish Airlines, and El Al.
• These airlines offer multiple daily flights to Moscow and other destinations in Russia, using a variety of aircraft.
• Other airlines in the regions of the Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Eastern Europe also operate flights to Russia, taking advantage of the country's airspace and achieving cost advantages over Western carriers.

It has been nearly two years since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Many western countries in the Americas and Europe put sanctions on Russia and major airlines stopped serving the country altogether. Some countries like the United States went as far as cutting all industrial and aviation support for Russian-owned aircraft.

There still are numerous countries that operate scheduled services to various destinations in Russia. Simple Flying compiled a list of major airlines still operating in Russia, while highlighting other carriers in the respective regions. The analysis is based on data from RusTourismNews.com

Multiple daily flights to Moscow and St. Petersburg

The largest airline in the Middle East, Emirates, runs multiple daily services between its hub in Dubai and Russia . The airline flies up to three times daily between Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Moscow Domodevo (DME), and up to twice daily to St. Petersburg (LED). Emirates operates a mix of A380s and Boeing 777-300ERs to Moscow and the triple sevens to St. Petersburg.

The remaining two of the Middle Eastern big three, Etihad and Qatar Airways, also operate scheduled services to multiple destinations in Russia from their respective hubs in Abu Dhabi (AUH) and Doha (DOH). Additionally, a range of full-service and low-cost carriers, such as FlyDubai and Air Arabia, operate services to Russia.

2 Ethiopian Airlines

Four times weekly service to moscow.

Africa is another region where many airlines operate scheduled services to Russia. One of the largest airlines in the continent, Ethiopian Airlines, operates four times weekly service between its hub in Addis Ababa (ADD) and Moscow (DME). Ethiopians operate the smallest version of the Boeing 787, the -8 Dreamliner, on the route.

African Nations Sign Aviation Development Agreements With Russia

Russia-Africa negotiations have produced positive results for the respective aviation sectors.

Other major carriers in Africa, including Royal Air Maroc, Egypt Air, and Air Algerie, among others, fly to various destinations in Russia. While some airlines do not directly operate in and out of Russian airports, they operate in Russian airspace, achieving efficiency and cost advantage over large Western carriers.

3 Air China

Once daily flight to moscow.

China enjoys an open air agreement with Russia, giving it a significant advantage over Western airlines. Several Chinese and Asia-Pacific airlines operate scheduled services to Russia. The three largest air carriers, Air China, China Eastern, and China Southern, operate scheduled services to Russia. Air China and China Eastern operate once-daily service between their bases in Beijing (PEK) and Shanghai (PVG), respectively, to Moscow Sheremetyevo (SVO). China Southern operates a four-time weekly schedule between Guangzhou (CAN) and SVO.

Russia Still Wants To Collaborate With China On Long-Range Aircraft Program

Russia hopes to leverage its strengths to provide crucial components for the C929 project.

Sichuan Airlines and VietJet operate scheduled services to multiple destinations in Russia. All Chinese carriers use the Russian airspace for their flights to Europe and the Americas, benefiting from shorter and more economical routing than other carriers.

4 Turkish Airlines

Turkey’s national carrier, Turkish Airlines, operates multiple daily flights to various destinations in Russia. The airline operates six daily flights between its hub at Istanbul Airport (IST) and Moscow Vnukovo (VKO), primarily using the Airbus A330 aircraft. The airline also operates a three-time daily service between IST and St. Petersburg (LED) using the Airbus A320 family aircraft.
