They are pilots 40th Tactical Aviation Brigade. From the first day of the full-scale invasion, the Rashists held Kyiv and are now defending our country, our independence, covering the sky above us and our children with their iron wings. They are a legend to whom we owe our lives.
We — the residents of the capital, citizens who are grateful to them for their service and thousands of saved lives, for our peace, our life — decided to dedicate a mural with the image of the “Ghost of Kyiv” to our heroes to forever perpetuate their memory on the walls of the building in the central the historical district of the capital.
The idea of the mural appeared in the team of the charitable foundation “For my Ukraine”. A team of artists led by the talented and already famous muralist Andriy Kovtun was invited to realize the idea.
For their work, the artists took a photo of one of the pilots of the 40th tactical aviation brigade of the Air Force of Ukraine. The image shows a “ghost” pilot in the cockpit of the famous MiG-29 aircraft, which is in service with our Air Force Base.
But the “Ghost of Kyiv” is a collective image of all the pilots of the 40th Tactical Aviation Brigade of the Air Force Base The Armed Forces, which in the first days of the large-scale invasion defended the sky above the capital, stopping the offensive actions of the enemy's ground formations.
…Prototypes of the “Ghost…” image were among the large audience. They did not stand out in any way (except for the correction). It seems that they liked the artistic embodiment of the image. I would like to name their names, show their faces… But all this is after our victory.
Since July 19, I have been watching how the preparatory work for the creation of the composition began.
The Ukrainian military did not need announcements: Zelensky informed the occupiers about plans Ukraine has not changed its goal since 2014. Enemy shelling damaged the roof of the ZNPP special building Fresh nuclear fuel for reactors can be stored there. Europe is not a quiet haven: Zelensky called for supporting visas for Russians The president emphasized that Russia should be under a full embargo from everyone in the world. Resistance forces blew up a Russian patrol in Mariupol One of the occupants died, another lost a leg. Explosions will be heard in two districts of Kyiv region on August 30 The explosions will not be related to hostilities.
