Ukraine Antonov AN-225 damaged in the Russian attack

Snake Island was a very historical piece of land and the same goes for the aircraft called a dream. At this time, Ukraine officials have said that they plan on having the federals of Russia pay for the damages. That is, all the damage caused to Ukraine. 

The aircraft Antonov AN-225 is said to be 3 billion. These monies are expected to be paid to Ukraine within five years.   According to CNN, Ukraine will not be phased by this destruction as Russia may destroy their aircraft but plans have already been put in place for it to be rebuilt. 

Ukraine has also relayed that Russia will never be able to destroy its dream of having a free strong, and democratic European state. Currently, Ukraine is not in alliance with NATO but has had plans to join in order to be protected from Russia. 

Support to Ukraine and plans to rebuild the aircraft

A number of countries have been showing support to Ukraine during their warfare with Russia. While we do know that the aircraft has been damaged, we do not know the extent of the damage. This has not yet been confirmed by Ukrainian authorities.

The Antonov AN-225 or otherwise known as the ‘dream’ has been in use since the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991. As of late, the aircraft has been used to send supplies to neighboring countries during the Covid-19 pandemic.

In Russia’s attack against Ukraine, it is evident that Russia seeks to take away the independence of the countries in order to be dependent on another. The destruction of Antonov AN-225 is evidence of this. In previous reports, it has been expressed that Russia intends to bring back the Soviet Union ordeal. 

Currently, the damage of the aircraft cannot be shared until a technical inspection has been had. The Antonov AN-225 is the world’s largest plane and was reportedly under repair as relayed by Australian Aviation
