Shmyhal spoke about the likelihood of partial resumption of air traffic in Ukraine.

The airspace of Ukraine remains closed due to security risks - Shmyhal

Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal claims that the airspace of the country remains closed due to critical security risks. He stated this during the International Transport Forum.

According to him, Russian attacks have caused significant damage to aviation infrastructure.

'We conducted a detailed risk assessment and established that it is currently impossible to partially open the airspace,' emphasized Shmyhal. The government is focused on developing alternative routes for cargo delivery and passenger transport – primarily through land borders, road, and rail transport.

According to the Prime Minister, at least 15 civilian airports have been affected as a result of Russian attacks. In addition, in the last three months, the enemy has launched more than 60 attacks on port infrastructure, damaging or destroying about 300 facilities and 22 civilian vessels.

Despite the difficult circumstances, Ukraine manages to maintain a maritime logistics corridor. As of today, more than 2800 vessels have passed through it, carrying over 75 million tons of cargo for 40 countries around the world. Of these, more than 50 million tons consist of agricultural products.

'This confirms that Ukraine remains a guarantor of food security, despite constant shelling of infrastructure,' underscored Shmyhal.
