A photo emerged online of Ukrainian F-16 pilot Maksym Ustymentko, who was killed today while repelling a massive air attack by Russia.

It is noted that Ustymentko left behind a 4-year-old son. This information was confirmed by the widow of another Ukrainian pilot — Oleksiy Mesya, who died in 2023.

In addition, the mother of last year’s deceased pilot Andriy "Juice" Pilshchykov stated that Maksym was a classmate of her son.

Let us recall that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy previously reported that Ustymentko managed to destroy seven air targets that day. The head of state instructed to investigate the circumstances of the tragedy and offered condolences to the family of the deceased.
