Wartime Reckoning
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has defused an extraordinary political crisis, but only after reversing the logic of the decision that created it.
The Ukrainian Parliament has ratified an open-skies agreement with the European Union (EU), which will establish a joint aviation space.
The agreement, inked at the 23rd Ukraine-EU Summit in Kiev in October 2021, was supported by 311 lawmakers in the 450-seat assembly, according to a statement posted on Parliament’s website on Thursday.
