"Unfortunately, our small aviation family has suffered a grief, we have lost not just a pilot, but also a reliable colleague, friend, son and just a wonderful and bright person, Vladyslav!
He was one of those with whom I would perform any task with confidence that he would not leave me in a difficult situation, which was true in the military and in life in general! Unfortunately, none of us will ever see his new videos again. Vladislav died defending our sky, although he was only 23, just think about this figure of 23 years, and he was a pilot of a MiG-29 combat aircraft and had already flown dozens of combat missions, I bow my head to him and pay tribute to him as a true combat pilot who died defending Ukraine!" the pilot wrote.
His girlfriend, Yevhenia Nesterenko, also reported the death of the soldier.
