Luckily, this is probably one of the few variables you can at least try to workaround, as you can choose/not choose flights that go over/close to warzones/Russia. Compared to unexpected issues like the typical Boeing doors falling off, that we as passengers can't really try to include when planning where to fly.
Normal people do not try to plot the course of their upcoming flights and calculate the proximity to the largest country in the world which happens to border 14 other countries.
I consider myself a fairly normal person. On a recent flight from Istanbul to Taipei, I checked the flight path to make sure it wasn't flying over any "suspect" countries.
The airline would need to be deliberately avoiding them: the great-arc circle between those two passes directly over Grozny. Smart call to double-check that.
