Ghost of Kyiv is a myth: On social media, the 'Ghost of Kyiv' was a military hero, a fighter pilot who was honored for allegedly shooting down several Russian planes. The tales of this so-called 'war hero' started a few days after the war and aired for a long time. This story was also strongly supported by official Ukrainian social media accounts. However, the truth of the 'Ghost of Kyiv' came to the fore on Saturday after Ukrainian officials admitted that the 'great pilot' was a myth. According to the AP, the Ukrainian Air Force wrote in Ukrainian on Facebook, "The Ghost of Kyiv is a superhero legend whose character was created by Ukrainians!"

 

The IAF's statement came after several media outlets published stories incorrectly describing Major Stephen Tarabalka as the 'Ghost of Kyiv'. Tarabalka was a real pilot. The Ukrainian Air Force last month reported that Tarabalka had died in an air battle on March 13 and was posthumously awarded the title 'Hero of Ukraine'. But he was not the 'Ghost of Kyiv', the Air Force said in its statement on Saturday.
