As it turns out, the so called ‘Ghost of Kyiv‘ is actually real! There are now various official sources that have confirmed his existence and some even shared a picture of him. Former president Petro Poroshenko decided to upload a picture of the heroic pilot who downed 6 aircraft from the Russian Government on Thursday, February 24. This confirms that the ‘Ghost of Kyiv’ is not only real but he remains active in the air. In one of the toughest nights for the capital of Ukraine, this pilot is roaming the skies looking for more victims to add to his list of kills. When the story of this ghost began spreading like wild fire, many didn’t believe this to be real.
In a time when we are all begging for heroes, this ghost is the clear reminder that there is still hope in a world filled with war. Poroshenko uploaded an image of the pilot who is in charge of an MiG-29 fighter jet with his entire gear on. There is no way to confirm his face or real identity, but this confirmation from the president turns a wild urban legend into reality. This is exactly what the people from the Ukraine need at the moment. And that’s not all, this ‘Ghost of Kyiv’ is already making more headlines in the ‘Battle for Kyiv’ that is taking place right now in the capital of Ukraine. Eventually, other official media outlets confirmed the existence of this ace pilot.
The Ghost of Kyiv adds more kills to his list.
During the night, reports started coming from a plane downing another four helicopters and a Russian Ilushyn II-76 that was carrying a landing force near Vasilkyv in the south of Kyiv. As it seems, this ghost is already in the air and defending the citizens of Kyiv. But he needs to be careful to not remain there for long because the Russians can catch on to him quickly. Even if former president Poroshenko just posted a picture of a generic pilot, this keeps on giving hope to all the citizens of Ukraine who are fighting f
or their country right now. This is what he tweeted: “In the image, we have the MiG-29 pilot known as ‘The Ghost of Kyiv’. He terrorizes enemies and makes Ukrainian people proud. He’s got six wins over Russian pilots! With such powerful defenders, Ukraine will definitely win!”
