The sky of Ukraine sounds different now: at the front — the roar of engines, in the cities — the silence of runways.
Today we congratulate all those who hold this sky. The aviation warriors of the Armed Forces, the National Guard, and the Border Guard Service — pilots, helicopter crews, drone operators, navigators, and ground services. They carry out combat missions, conduct reconnaissance, evacuate the wounded, deliver supplies, and shield our cities. Thanks to them, thousands of people wake up alive every day.
And also those preparing the peaceful sky for its return: civil aviation pilots, dispatchers, engineers, flight attendants, airport and aviation industry workers. Airports are temporarily silent, but the pulse is still strong — training continues, aircraft are maintained, and routes are waiting for their time.
Happy Aviation Day!
I wish you clear horizons, reliable equipment, and safe landings. We will surely reopen Ukrainian skies for flights — but for now, we hold them together, bringing the Day of Victory closer!
