Sadly, this would be consistant with a larger trend.

Nothing to worry about. Russia will end up buying Boeing.

Most of this is posturing, and Europe and Asia do a lot of posturing. In the end, the decision will either be made on business grounds, in which case Boeing will be selected, or political grounds, in which case Boeing will still be selected.

Nobody wants to be tied to a decision to buy Airbus for political reasons, only to have some of those planes crash and burn. If Airbus is to win the contract, they had better produce a lot of guarantees. The Boeing aircraft are still the most sound from a business vantage point.
