The Russia-Ukraine conflict took an ugly turn after President Vladimir Putin launched a special military operation in order to demilitarise Kyiv. Kyiv's presidential office said there was "fierce fighting" at the airport.
On the third day of the war, both sides are constantly making claims of causing heavy damage to each other. Meanwhile, a mysterious MiG-29 fighter plane is being claimed to be seen trying to save the skies of Ukraine from Russia.
People are calling it a ‘Ghost of Kyiv’. Netizens are sharing the clip of the MiG-29 fighter plane. The plane reportedly shot down 6 Russian fighter planes. A user wrote, “I’m blown away by Ukraine’s bravery. The Ghost of Kyiv. The men that told the Russian Battleship to f***. The former President who said with a rifle in his hands that he’d hold them off forever. Ukrainians are ABOUT IT man. So much respect for those people in this dark time.”
Another user shared, “This Ukrainian pilot leading Ukraine's resistance against the 3rd strongest army in the world by downing 6 Russian jets in the first day of their invasion, being a real life avenger and getting nicknamed the Ghost of Kyiv has gotta be among the hardest war stories in history.”
Some people kept gazing at the sky for a long time, while some left all the work and ran away.
Meanwhile, the Russian armed forces have established full control over the southern Ukrainian city of Melitopol, Defence Ministry Spokesman Igor Konashenkov said in a briefing on Saturday.
Earlier in the day, the Defence Ministry said that the Russian military had entered Melitopol without meeting resistance, Xinhua news agency reported.
