I think the most direct path would be over Ukraine and they're going around so the curve is to come back in? Just a guess.

It's avoiding the Ural mountains. Even straightening out that curve on the southward leg of the route would still only pass over the Caspian sea, which is still quite far from Ukraine

I thought that it could be mountains, but I couldn’t seen any on the map.
