In general you can see the aircraft type and call-sign(?), owner, point of origin, and destination. Sometimes owner and destination are obscured for varying reasons.

These particular screenshots are showing flights that originated from Russia

The background of it in video form is basically this: https://youtu.be/thqbjA2DC-E

Due to geopolitics and war, specific airlines may not be allowed (or want to) fly through another countries air space. That's what's happening. Ukraine war made a lot of routes longer and more complicated because a lot of airlines started avoiding Ukraine (due to war) and Russia (due to war but also sanctions, since by internal treaty Russia could collect fees if airlines fly through their airspace).

Since I have too much time this morning I did some digging, and I don't think anything is going down.

You observed 2 airliners that regularly fly between Russia and Turkey:

D-KSJX is a glider: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/d-ksjx/

Aircraft SPIRB is most likely a private plane that took off from a rural airstrip at coordinates 53°58'59"N 20°52'51"E.

This is normal. They fly using some kind of corridor if I'm correct. I took such plane from Russia to turkey 2 months ago and it's definitely not a direct flight because Russian planes are not allowed in many countries' airspace.

another one is about to do the same thing (go from Belarussian airspace to Lithuanian airspace)

It’s just going around Ukraine, isn’t it?

Nothing to see here. Typical Russian pilot too drunk to fly directly south.
