Ukraine has approached its European partners with a proposal to establish a ceasefire on airfields, according to The Kyiv Independent. The initiative envisages a halt to strikes on aviation infrastructure carried out by both sides.
The proposal has been given the working title "Airport Ceasefire." The Ukrainian side is counting on support from its European partners in implementing this plan.
Ukraine has proposed introducing a mutual refusal by both sides to strike airfields and aviation infrastructure — the so-called 'airfield ceasefire'. Kyiv is asking European partners to help implement this plan as a first step toward partial agreements with Russia in the absence of a full ceasefire.
If the initiative succeeds, it will reduce the risk of air strikes on civilian objects near airfields and may facilitate air traffic in European countries via Ukrainian airspace. The proposal signals that Kyiv is seeking compromise solutions — this could influence the negotiation process and the timeline for a possible full ceasefire.
