New Terminal F of Boryspil Airport, Ukraine, designed for international flights, charters and low-cost flights were not open neither in April nor on the 24th of August at the Ukraine Independence Day, as it was scheduled before. The new tentative opening date is the first-second decade of September.

It looks like this year Kyivans and guests of the Ukrainian capital will not be able to see traditional barrels with kvass on city streets.

Ukrainian Boryspil Airport and all others are closed. Ukraine airports have suspended their operation due to volcanic ash clouds over Europe.

According to the web-site of the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Ukraine, clouds of volcanic dust didn’t lead to the closure of any of Ukrainian airports.

On Saturday, April 17th, 2010, Ukraine International Airport Boryspil may stop working, according to the reports of the press service of the airport.

Boryspil Airport is planning to open a new Terminal F, designed for international flights, already in April this year. Now the terminal B is fulfilling this function.
Its total capacity should be a half thousand people per hour.

This spring the city plans to begin reconstruction of Andrew’s descent. The fate of the street and the time of its reconstruction have already been discussed at the City Hall.

In Kyiv, several observation areas have been equipped with special units, which allow Kyiv residents and the guests of the Ukrainian capital to view the panorama of the city.
In particular, viewing areas near the Arch of Friendship and the Monument to the Holodomor Victims (near Lavra) will allow tourists to enjoy the city panorama with the help of telescopes.

The biggest Ukrainian Flower Clock will start ticking again approximately in April, 2010 near the Independence Square, on Instytutska Sreet. A competition for the best design of the clock has already begun. For example, one of the ideas is to put in the center of the dial the logo of Euro 2012 (a soccer ball with two flowers).

Deputies of five fractions (two from the Party of Regions, one from Lytvyn Bloc, Communists Party, BUYT and NUNS) suggested Ukrainian Parliament to introduce a visa regime to enter Ukraine for citizens of EU, USA, Canada, Japan and Switzerland and some other countries.
