> Kyiv and nearby airports are technically ready to receive aircraft carrying foreign delegations, but President Volodymyr Zelensky said their use depends on Russia agreeing to a safe corridor. He accused Russia of deliberately targeting runways at Zhuliany and Boryspil airports before a U.S. delegation’s visit; the envoys ultimately traveled by train.
