The war against Ukraine is raging across the country. Ukrainian fighters confront the Russian troops. One pilot seems to be particularly active in the air: the “Ghost of Kyiv”.
Kyiv – On the ground, the war in Ukraine is spreading. Russian troops are gradually approaching the capital Kyiv, near the western Ukrainian city of Lviv there have been rocket hits for the first time. The situation in the southern Ukrainian port of Mariupol is extremely precarious and dangerous, especially for the civilians there. President Volodymyr Zelenskyj* repeatedly emphasizes that the Ukrainians will not give up their homeland and will steadfastly oppose the Russian attack. This seems to be the morale even at lofty heights. A mysterious fighter pilot known on social media as the “Ghost of Kyiv” has become something of an iconic figure. Now a photo appears for the first time.
Ukraine War: ‘Ghost of Kyiv’ Appears in Cockpit
Not much can be seen in the photo of the ominous pilot. An oxygen mask and black visor completely cover the pilot’s face. He is seen sitting in a MIG-29 plane while taking the photo of himself. Under the picture, released by the General Staff of Ukraine, it reads: “Hello, Russian villain, I’m flying for your soul – the spirit of Kyiv.” He points with his finger in the direction of his jet’s missiles.
According to rumors, the “ghost of Kyiv” shot down six Russian planes on the first day of the war. In the meantime, according to the English Sunday Times already be ten combat aircraft.
Ukraine War: Pilot’s identity remains unknown
Identification of the fighter in the cockpit is impossible. Just like the verification of the legend of the “Ghost of Kyiv”, because from the Ukrainian side, apart from the photo, so far there has been no confirmation that the pilot really exists. However, this final verification does not seem necessary as long as the “Spirit of Kyiv” continues to stand as a symbol of courage and hope for the Ukrainian population and for the fighting soldiers. *Merkur.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA
