Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine from the faction of Petro Poroshenko “European Solidarity” Oleksiy Goncharenko confirmed the likelihood of closing traffic in the airspace of Ukraine from February 14, 2022.
On the evening of February 13, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal announced that the Cabinet of Ministers would allocate 16.6 billion hryvnias to ensure uninterrupted air travel in the country’s airspace. According to the minister, this will help stabilize the situation on the passenger air transportation market and guarantee the return of citizens of the country from abroad to Ukraine.
