"We are absolutely liberal in this issue, but we will take into account two factors: the first is how the partners open [borders], and the second is the real situation with the pandemic in Ukraine.

Commenting on plans to restore air travel, Ukrainian Infrastructure Minister Vladyslav Kryklii said Ukraine's actions would be similar to those of European countries. Yet, he said, the situation might vary by region depending on the epidemiological situation.
