The repair of the plane will cost more than 3,000 million dollars and will require a lot of time, said. The An-225 Mriya, designed in the 1980s, is the longest and heaviest aircraft ever built. It was capable of carrying up to 640 tons of cargo.
“Russia may have destroyed our ‘Mriya’. But they can never destroy our dream of a strong, free and democratic European state. We will prevail!” Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine’s foreign minister, wrote on his Twitter account.
For its part, the Ukrainian aviation company Antonov pointed out: “Until the experts inspect the AN-225 we cannot report the technical condition of the ship,” and promised to release official information soon.
Meanwhile, this Sunday the clashes between Russian and Ukrainian forces continued, while the local government announced its acceptance to negotiate with Moscow on the border with Belarus, although it was skeptical about the eventual results.
The Prime Minister of Ukraine, Volodomir Zelenski, reported that this decision was negotiated with the Belarusian president, Alexander Lukashenko, an ally of Vladimir Putin, with whom he had a telephone conversation this Sunday in which they agreed that the meeting would take place “without preconditions “.
For his part, the Ukrainian Deputy Minister of the Interior, Evgeny Yenin, confirmed that the talks between the belligerents will begin this Monday on the border between Ukraine and Belarus, although he did not specify the place where they will take place.
The information about this first contact between the Russian and Ukrainian delegations was put in the mouth of Jenin by the American chain CNN.
