Direct flights between Kyiv and Bucharest will be resumed soon, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said.

"We hope that airlines would use their permits and resume direct flights between Bucharest and Kyiv soon," he said at a joint press conference with Romanian President Klaus Iohannis in Bucharest on Thursday.

Poroshenko said that this would be especially interesting after the introduction of visa free regime between Ukraine and the EU.
