Journalists have found out that Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Oleh Tatarov traveled to Russia at least 9 times after the occupation of Crimea and Russia's invasion of eastern Ukraine. Ukraine plans to reopen its airport. Donald Trump's advisors propose a new plan to end the war in Ukraine. We have collected the main news for November 7.
Tatarov’s trips to Moscow
Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Oleh Tatarov flew to Moscow at least 9 times after the occupation of Crimea and Russia's invasion of eastern Ukraine, journalists of the Schemes project found out.
He visited Russia three times in 2017, four times in 2018, and twice in 2019. Since flights between Ukraine and Russia were suspended after 2014, Tatarov traveled to Moscow from Kyiv via Minsk on most of his trips.
The deputy head of the OP denies this information, calling it fake news.
Airport to resume operations in Ukraine
One of Ukraine's airports will resume operations by the end of January 2025. It is expected that 5 or 6 airlines will agree to fly from Ukraine.
According to Crispin Ellison, senior partner at risk management consultancy Marsh McLennan, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wants Boryspil airport near Kyiv to be the first to resume flights, although it will be easier to secure insurance mechanisms for aviation at Lviv airport.
Trump's new plans for Ukraine
The winner of the US presidential election, Donald Trump, has not yet chosen a specific plan to end the war in Ukraine, the Wall Street Journal reports.
One of the previously unknown ideas suggests that Kyiv will promise not to join NATO for at least 20 years, and the United States will continue to send weapons to Ukraine in exchange. Russia and Ukraine would allegedly have to agree to a demilitarized zone of more than 1,200 km.
The order on this territory would definitely not be maintained by U.S. troops or international organizations funded by the United States, such as the United Nations.
Polish Defense Ministry opposes transfer of fighter jets to Ukraine
Polish Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz opposed the transfer of Polish MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine, as they patrol the Polish sky.
According to him, Poland is one of the leaders in providing military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine, but, according to him, this is often forgotten. He also noted that Warsaw has donated as much military equipment as it could, but the limit is the security of the country.
Another MSEC official exposed for corruption
A deputy head of the Central Medical and Social Expert Commission (MSEC) was detained for taking a bribe to help a person obtain a disability to be deregistered from the military.
According to the investigation, the official promised to assist a citizen liable for military service in obtaining a disability group II in exchange for $2,000. This made it possible to remove him from the military register. According to the Prosecutor General's Office, she convinced the man that it was not the first time she had solved such “issues” and knew how to do it.
