The State Aviation Service of Ukraine has denied a statement of MP Mykola Skoryk that the airspace for private planes has been closed.

"This information is untrue. The airspace is opened," the press service of the authority told Interfax-Ukraine.

Earlier on Wednesday Skoryk said that the Ukrainian State Air Traffic Services Enterprise (UkSATSE) under an order of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) closed airspace for private planes allegedly intended not to allow businessman Dmytro Firtash to return to Ukraine.
