Germany’s Lufthansa airline temporary suspended flights to and from Kiev, starting on Monday, until February 28, as announced in an official statement on their website. Passengers were seen checking in for the last fight before the suspension, on Sunday, in Kiev.

According to the company, “Lufthansa is constantly monitoring the situation and will decide on further flights at a later date”.

the Ukrainian airline UIA started selling tickets to Munich and Geneva in order to ensure air-traffic.
Kiev and the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics have accused each other of ceasefire violations and shelling in recent days. The OSCE has confirmed numerous ceasefire breaches.

The USA and other Western countries have expressed fears that Russia could stage a ‘false-flag’ attack to justify invading Ukraine, amid reports that Moscow has concentrated some 150,000 troops next to the country’s.

Russia has said it is carrying out planned military drills and that some of the troops have been already withdrawn to their permanent bases, though Western countries have said there is no evidence of a pull-back.

On Thursday, US President Joe Biden said military action could begin “in the next several days” but stressed that a diplomatic solution was still possible.

Moscow has denied intending to invade, accusing the West of stoking tensions.

SOT, Passenger (Russian): “My attitude is rather negative, but it’s their decision. As far as I know, UIA [Ukraine International Airlines] has taken some flights to Geneva and Munich to conduct.”

SOT, Passenger (Russian): “I have a difficult attitude towards this, because I had certain plans for this time, and I had to move them urgently because I need to get to Frankfurt rather urgently. So there are no pleasant emotions, but health and safety are more important.”
