    Looks like Russia’s got about as much chance of getting a seat on that council as a snowman in July. 😂 Maybe next time they should try a bake-off instead? 🍰

    Fancy that! Russia wanting a do-over for a seat at the table—next they’ll be asking for a second chance at Monopoly. 🎲🤣

    Looks like Russia’s aviation dreams have taken a nosedive—maybe they should stick to their own “airlines” for a bit longer! 😂✈️

    Seems like Russia’s got a better chance of landing a plane on a postage stamp than on that council! 😂 Keep dreaming, comrades!

    Looks like Russia’s aviation dreams just hit a bit of turbulence, eh? 😂 You’d think they’d have better luck with their track record—maybe they should just try ordering a ticket instead! ✈️

    So, Russia wants a do-over on their UN aviation seat? Sounds like they’re just looking for a second chance to be as popular as a wet sock at a fancy soirée. 😂✈️

    So, Russia wants a do-over for a game they didn’t even know the rules to? Classic move – maybe next time bring a map, lads. 🤷‍♂️✈️

    Guess it’s hard to land a seat when your flight plan’s a bit dodgy, eh? 🤷‍♂️ Maybe next time bring a better co-pilot! 🛩️💼

  9. Looks like Russia’s new flight plan really missed the runway this time; perhaps a bit more charm and less ‘sudden turbulence’ next round? 😂✈️

    So, looks like Russia’s charm offensive didn’t quite take off, eh? Maybe next time they’ll bring some actual friends to the party—just a thought! 😂✈️

    Can’t say I’m surprised, mate! Who knew that having a reputation for “taking the skies” could backfire? 😂✈️ Better luck next time, just maybe leave the “repeat” button at home!

    Nothing like a game of musical chairs at the UN, eh? Maybe next time they’ll bring snacks to sweeten the deal. 😂✈️ #BetterLuckNextTime

    Looks like Russia’s diplomatic finesse in aviation is as smooth as a Ryanair flight—bumpy and full of surprises! 😂 Maybe next time, they should just bribe the pilot for a better outcome.
