Colonel Yurii Ihnat, spokesperson for the Air Force of Ukraine, stated that resuming civil aviation flights during martial law is unlikely due to the threat of Russian missiles and drones appearing anywhere in the country.

Colonel Yurii Ihnat expressed skepticism about the possibility of resuming civil aviation flights in Ukraine during martial law, citing the presence of missiles and drones.

Ihnat noted that missiles of various types are flying from everywhere and that the airspace is currently blocked.

With the country under martial law, it's challenging to foresee how we can safely operate flights. While we had a grain corridor left untouched by Russia, it's uncertain whether humanitarian aviation corridors will remain secure

Currently, all Ukrainian airfields, which serve various purposes, are operational. However, in a war-torn country like ours, missiles and enemy drones can appear anywhere at any time

As long as the war persists, it seems unlikely that civil aviation can resume without significant risks. Our vast territory is susceptible to missile attacks from different directions, and the enemy possesses powerful technological weaponry

The Air Force doubts the possibility of resuming civil aviation flights in Ukraine and opening the airspace during martial law.

Missiles and enemy drones can fly everywhere, anywhere in the country.

The airspace over Ukraine is currently closed, and it will not be opened soon.
