"State Duma sources have confirmed during the Duma's meeting yesterday a motion was put forth to classify the Kiev System as a No-Fly-Zone for all incoming-outgoing traffic until the Coalition has secured the system as a Coalition Oblast. This would mean that only ships involved with the Military would be able to pass through without being halted, scanned and turned back.
According to our sources this serves a two-fold purpose. First off it secures the region from Civilians who would likely be caught in the crossfire between the former Reaper terrorists and Coalition forces, ensuring no civilian casualties in the campaign. And secondly ensures that ships headed to Corsair Space with supplies will be forced to take a longer route around to supply the enemy War Machine, ensuring the Corsair Empire does not receive supplies in a timely manner and slowing the enemy's progress down.
It is un-clear when the Coalition will be launching it's offensive into Kiev due to other fronts having forced a stalemate in the Omega Regions which will take up more supplies in holding and fortifying their positions. Nevertheless the Kiev No-Fly-Zone is considered a key part of the Coalition strategy in the fight for the system and for the People's Republic to finally destroy the genocidal remnants of the Reapers of Sirius."
