Dec 08, 2023 (newstodate): A group of foreign diplomats in Ukraine are now holding boarding passes to the first flight out of Kiev Boryspil Aiport.
   A symbolic gesture, the boarding passes should visualize the Ukrainian government's pledge to reopen the airport at the earliest possible date.  
   -Kyiv will soon be able to reopen its main international airport because Ukraine has become progressively stronger over the last year and can now provide the necessary security for the site, Andriy Yermak, President Zelensky’s chief of staff, told the gathering.
   -This return to the elements of peace is possible because Ukraine has grown stronger. We are now capable of providing security for this site.
   -I am certain that the symbolic boarding cards that you were given when you came in today will soon turn into real ones, he said.
   On February 24, 2022, Ukraine closed its airspace to civilian flights due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, also closing the airport.
   Shortly afterward, the airport was hit by Russian missiles targeting Ukrainian infrastructure.
