Early in the year 2017, Vladimir Novikov and Igor Ozarko reunited again. At the beginning of 2018, Vova and Igor re-released album of Ukrainian Flit songs in English language called "Walking in Circles" to begin concert activity in the U.S. and observe the reaction of local rock fans to music from Ukraine. A little later, they introduced a new single "New York Symphony".
In 2019 FliT started a new page in band story:
1. Vladimir Novikov and Igor Ozarko started performing under the old name FliT (but now using Latin instead of Cyrillic).
2. Andriy Markiv, who has been a member of the Flit in Ukraine since its creation, announces his leave.
3. After 15-year break, one of the founders of the Flit, co-author of the lyrics of the album "Svit takyi…" ("The World is such…"), backing vocalist Vitaliy Belyakov (Belya) returns to the band.
4. In the spring, FliT accidentally got in touch a young talented musician, Andriy Dragushchak, who became bass player.
On July 1, 2019, the rebranded Ukrainian-American FliT releases the new EP "Raptom" ("Suddenly") in Ukrainian, atmospherically designed in the style of the first FliT album "Svit takyi…" ("The World is such…").
December 17, 2019, FliT released new EP - "Just Go".
