Aug 31, 2010 at 12:49
The new terminal that opened in Kharkiv on Aug. 28 will allow it to quadruple the number of passengers it can receive every year, to 800,000 people. The terminal was built in preparation for Euro-2012 European football championship, which Ukraine will co-host with Poland. Kharkiv was picked as one of the sites for championship matches. The new terminal, which is 20,000 square meters in area, was built in less than two years, according to Oleksandr Yaroslavsky, the local oligarch who financed the construction. President Viktor Yanukovych, who attended the opening ceremony, said that after Euro-2012 Ukraine will start preparing to host the Olympic Games in 2022. (Photos by Yaroslav Debelyi)
