Ukraine’s airspace to remain open despite threat of war in the region

The airspace above Ukraine will remain open for airlines to fly, despite the growing threat of a possible war that could erupt in the region, should Russia invade

Ukraine’s government revealed it is taking new measures to keep its airspace open following Dutch airline KLM becoming the first major carrier to suspend flights to the capital Kyiv.

It comes as tensions over Russia’s military build-up on Ukraine’s border intensify despite efforts to encourage a diplomatic way forward.

Ukraine stated that it was ready to assume financial obligations for flight safety in the country’s airspace.

Other airlines could follow KLM suspension move due to the risk of flying and because of the rising cost of insurance

Ukraine officials over the weekend stated that the country was willing to underwrite some of the costs.

“Ukraine is ready to make financial commitments for the safety of aircraft in the Ukrainian sky.

A government official said.

“To ensure flight safety, the government today decided to allocate funds from the State Budget Reserve Fund to the Infrastructure Ministry. Guarantees will be provided for insurance companies, reinsurance companies, leasing companies and airlines.”

A government official said.

All 298 passengers and crew on board the doomed flight were killed.

Russian officials reaffirmed their alliance with China following U.S. President Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin arrived in Hangzhou for two days of negotiations, signing various agreements to enhance cooperation in trade, investment, energy, transport, agriculture, and space, according to Russian state media.

Mishustin described his Chinese counterpart as a “dear friend,” stating that Russian-Chinese relations are at their peak despite Western sanctions. Li Qiang reciprocated by expressing Beijing’s readiness to strengthen ties, noting mutual support amid external risks and challenges.

Strategic Partnership

China remains Russia’s most important ally, having not condemned the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, and echoes Russia’s language, referring to the situation as a “crisis.”

Ahead of this visit, the Kremlin highlighted the significance of the talks, sending a robust delegation, including top officials from finance, agriculture, space, and nuclear energy.

Mishustin’s visit coincides with Trump’s recent discussions with Xi, where agreements were reportedly reached on several issues in a gesture seen as a trade truce amidst rising tariffs.

Trump’s engagement with China contrasts with his lack of progress in talks with Russia, which he attributed to frustrations over the Ukraine conflict. This context may indicate Russia’s unease regarding China’s positive interactions with the U.S.
