Oct 31, 2007 (newstodate): Reports on plans for a new joint Ukraine, Russia airport at Kharkov on the border between the two countries may be too hasty.
The plan was originally born during the Soviet time when no border existed between Russia and Ukraine, and the Ukrainean side now underlines that it is up to the state, and not the regional authority, to negotiate with the Russian counterpart.
The new airport would be located between the Ukrainean city Kharkov and Russia's Belgorod, some 30-40 km from each, and include a focus on air cargo.
