An Ural Airlines Airbus A321-200, registration VP-BBH performing flight
U6-71 from Moscow Domodedovo (Russia) to Simferopol (Ukraine), was accelerating for takeoff from runway 32R when the crew rejected takeoff at low speed (about 25 knots over ground) due to trouble with one of the engines (V2533). The aircraft slowed safely and returned to the apron.
The aircraft is still on the ground in Moscow about 25 hours later.
The status of Crimea and Simferopol is disputed. According to international law and United Nations the Crimea belong to the Ukraine although Russia annexed Crimea in 2014.
