Let us recall that first class pilot Maxim Ustimenko destroyed at least seven enemy targets.
On June 29, he died, sacrificing his own life to steer a plane away from a populated area. For this feat, President Volodymyr Zelensky awarded him the title Hero of Ukraine posthumously.
It is known that Ustimenko was only 32 years old. He left behind a wife and a small son.
