Ukraine - Confrontation in the Air: Russia regularly violates Ukraine's airspace, officials do not react: UKRAINE TODAY

Published on Aug 5, 2016
Russian planes violate Ukrainian air borders. Despite being banned to enter Ukraine's air space, numerous passenger liners heading from southern Europe ignore the prohibition.

Any plane in the sky may be easily detected, since anyone using a phone, Internet, and simple software may detect the roundabouts of any plane in the sky. Those who professionally deal with the issue, have noticed Russia violating Ukrainian air borders entering its airspace.

For the last week of July there have been at least four Russian passenger planes located, mostly marked with "Aeroflot" name, heading from Greek sea resorts to Moscow. According to Ukrainian State Air Traffic Service Enterprise, no fact may be considered as violation, since it does not contradict the official documents.

"All the cases mentioned are connected with the weather conditions. Russian planes are allowed to temporarily enter our air space in order to secure the passengers. This complies with the protocol adopted by Flight Security Council," says Oleh Kryzhanovskyi, an air traffic specialist.

Each and every time Russian pilots report they are to avoid thunderstorm. Ukrainian flying control officers have no right to deny the request, even if there is no storm detected on their monitors, since the passengers' security is of highest priority. The members of the flying control service staff suppose Russians thus may save up to 500 kg of fuel, though it is impossible to figure out and later prove.
