The Mriya (Antonov An-225) - lit. 'dream' or 'inspiration' - was a strategic airlift cargo aircraft designed in the 1980s by the Antonov Design Bureau in the Soviet Union.

On 24 February, the An-225 was said to be intact.
On 27 February, a photo was posted on Twitter of an object tentatively identified as the An-225 on fire in its hangar.
Also on 27 February, a press release by Ukroboronprom stated that the An-225 had been destroyed by Russian forces.

On 20 May 2022, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky announced his intentions to complete the second An-225, to replace the destroyed aircraft and as a tribute to all the Ukrainian pilots killed during the war.
