View submission: How are the Western made jets (Airbus/Boeing) operated by Russian airlines still flying considering the number of sanctions against the sale of spare service parts?

How does a goverment have a right to tell a private company who they can not sell/export parts to? I thought west was all about “free market/minimal government interferance”
