Is it possible to partially open the sky over Ukraine: Shmyhal made a statement.


The Ukrainian airspace cannot be open due to the security situation
During the International Transport Forum, Ukraine's Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal reported that currently, the Ukrainian airspace cannot be opened even partially.

Attention is paid to the land border and other modes of transportation
The Prime Minister emphasized that the main focus is on the development of the land border, road, and rail transport. He also noted that the aviation infrastructure was damaged as a result of Russian attacks and 15 civilian airports were damaged.
