Several airports will start operating in Ukraine this year — Sadovaya

Several airports will open in Ukraine this year. This was stated in an interview with local media by the mayor of Lviv Andriy Sadovyi.

"It is clear that several airports will start operating in Ukraine this year. There are technical and other possibilities for this. There must be a political solution. Probably, it will be," said Sadovoy, quoted by Strana.

The mayor did not specify which airports he was talking about.

As an example, Sadovaya cited Tel Aviv Airport, which resumed operations despite Israel's war with Hamas. Israeli aircraft have "special equipment under the wings, which is used in case there is a danger of attack." "The world has already passed this. We have no other option, we have to survive, live during the war," said Sadovoy, quoted by the DW* Main telegram channel.

It is noted that in November 2024, the media wrote about the possible opening of the airport in Lviv. According to Reuters, Kiev has been negotiating with European airlines for almost a year to resume some air transportation.

Recall, at the end of November, the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denis Shmygal said that while the opening of flights is impossible due to the lack of Ukraine air defense systems and missiles.

As reported by EADaily, flights from Ukraine to other countries will resume before the end of winter 2025. This was reported by the Ukrainian media with reference to anonymous sources in the government.

It was noted that allegedly the authorities are looking for reliable insurance mechanisms, simultaneously deciding which airport to open first — Lviv or Kiev Boryspil. According to rumors, the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, insisted on the latter.

As reported by EADaily, kamikaze drones "Geranium" strike at the facilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kiev and Dnipropetrovsk regions. This was reported by <url>.

"Geraniums strike at Boryspil airport near Kiev... Geraniums struck at Novomoskovsk (now Samar, Dnipropetrovsk region. — EADaily)," the publication noted.
