She made the remark during a video conversation with the Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Vladislav Krikliy.

According to Turnava, the resumption of flights between the two countries is necessary as soon as possible.

In turn, Krikliy noted that Ukraine was ready to act quickly and synchronously in order to open borders for passenger traffic via coordination with the foreign ministries of both countries.
