Ukraine will build a new "Mriya"

This was announced by President Volodymyr Zelensky.

We wanted to build it, we needed $800 million. I turned to the President of Turkey with a proposal to build a second Mriya, but we did not find the money. But in this case it's not a question of money, it's a question of ambition. This is a matter of the image of our state and all the excellent professional pilots who died in this war,” Zelensky said.

The new aircraft will be dedicated to the memory of pilots who died in the war.

How much they did, today we can already say how much they saved the lives of people who remained in Mariupol, especially at Azovstal. How many pilots gave their lives to bring everything there, from weapons to water. And how many wounded they took from there. A large number of these people died heroically,” the president said.
