According to him, that is why it is important to develop alternative routes for the delivery of goods and transportation of passengers.“We conducted a risk assessment and determined the need for air defense forces and means to partially open the airspace. Security and the military situation remain key to this decision. That is why it is important for us to develop alternative routes for the delivery of cargo and the movement of passengers. It is about land border, road and rail transport,” the head of government said during the International Transport Forum, Ukrinform reports.
Shmyhal added that the aviation infrastructure was significantly damaged as a result of the Russian attacks – at least 15 civilian airports were affected.

As a result, almost 300 objects and 22 civilian vessels were damaged or destroyed, dozens of people were injured.
“Despite the constant attempts of the aggressor to cause even greater destruction, thanks to the Defense Forces, we were able to ensure the stable operation of the Ukrainian maritime corridor. Today, more than 2,800 ships used it, which transported more than 75 million tons of cargo for more than 40 countries of the world, of which more than 50 million tons are agricultural products “, the prime minister said.
