Ukraine implements special flight regimes for “Aeroflot” and “Transaero”

Ukraine implements special flight regimes for “Aeroflot” and “Transaero”

These airlines can only enter Ukrainian airspace after receiving a permit. 

The Ukrainian State Aviation Service is implementing a special fight regime for Russian airlines “Transaero” and “Aeroflot – Russian Airlines” on transit flights from Russia over Ukraine.

According to the Ukrainian Ministry of Infrastructure press service, such limitations have to do with “Transaero” and “Aeroflot” airlines making transit flights over Ukraine between Russia and Bulgaria, Israel, Türkiye, Egypt and Greece.

Henceforth these airlines can only enter Ukrainian airspace after receiving a permit from the Ukrainian State Aviation Service for every individual flight.

“The measures that are being taken will allow to provide a sufficient level of air security by establishing the rules of transit over Ukraine for the airlines that neglect international flight rules in the closed airspace over the territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the closed airport of Simferopol,” explained the Ministry of Infrastructure press service.

The Ministry also reminded that the airspace over the ATO zone is completely closed, as well as Crimean airports, and the safety of transit flights over other Ukrainian territory is fully under the control of the Ukrainian Air Transportation Service.

    Тарас Возняк: Парадокси польської геополітики

    З одного боку бачимо явну чи латентну консолідацію Континенту (Світового острова). Росія зайняла гостро опозиційну диспозицію щодо США+. Китай – у вичікуючій диспозиції. Ряд країн ЄС, які традиційно тяжіли до Континенту (Німеччина, Австрія, Франція – див. Т.Возняк: Проблема німецького вибору у російсько-українській війні) є у двозначній диспозиції. Вони тісно пов'язані/нейтралізовані Світовими океанами. Однак у випадку Німеччини так само тісно пов'язані/напівнейтралізовані Росією. Але щодень то більше пов'язані/напівнейтралізовані Китаєм, де у ФРН маса проектів та планів. Окрім того, на всі ці пов'язаності/напівнейтралізації накладається ще й шлейф традиційного континентального політичного мислення та позиціонування.

    З іншого боку бачимо, як у формальний і не формальний спосіб консолідувалася традиційно антиконтинентальна англосаксонська ліга у складі США, Канади, Австралії, Нової Зеландії, Великої Британії.

    І, ще раз повторимося, в точності з передбаченням Маккіндера до антиконтинентальної ліги долучився колишній центральноєвропейський "санітарний коридор", який тільки змінює свою назву (Міжмор'я, УЛБ, ГУАМ, Вишеградська четвірка). Однак від зміни назви його "санітарна", "ізолююча" функція не змінюється.

    Сьогодні у склад віртуального неформалізованого Міжмор'я ситуативно входять Польща, Україна, Литва, Латвія, Естонія, Румунія, Молдова. В принципі, там є місце і на Білорусь та Грузію. І деякі кроки Білорусі Лукашенка підтверджують, що і вона у непрямий спосіб майже непомітно, проте дрейфує, наскільки може, у тому ж напрямку.

    March 11 – Russian soldiers are participating in the war in Eastern Ukraine beginning with July 14, 2014.

    This is stated in the report of the British Kingdom United Institute of Defense Research (https://www.rusi.org/)

    According to the document, on that day six reconnaissance detachments, namely: 2nd Brigade of special forces, 10th Brigade of special forces, a group of the 45th Division of Guards special forces of the air assault troops, 173rd Separate Division of Guards Reconnaissance Company, the Reconnaissance Battalion of the 9th Infantry Brigade, the Reconnaissance Battalion of the 18th Infantry Brigade.

    Since August 11th, according to the data of the Institute, in the war in Ukraine, there were already ten tactical groups which were fully involved: 17th Infantry Brigade; 18th Infantry Brigade; 21st Infantry Brigade; 33rd a (mountain) Infantry Brigade; 247th Guard Division Landing-Storming Regiment; 104th Guard Division Landing-Storming Regiment; 331st Guard Division of the air assault troops; 137th Guard Division of the air assault troops; 31st Guard Division Landing-Storming Regiment; 2nd Brigade of special forces.

    The number of pro-Russian fighters, state the analysts, numbers a half of the number of resource of Russian regular army. The main strategic task of the Russian Army units in the the document is named the support of the self-pronounced "republics" in Eastern Ukraine. Also the researchers supposse that that Russia very soon will undertake a new a new attack on Ukrainian positions. The most probable direction is considered Mariupol.
