A Ukrainian pilot of the 299th Tactical Aviation Brigade of the Ukrainian Air Force was killed at the front. This was reported by the Air Force, UNN reports. 

"Today, a young Ukrainian pilot, a pilot of the 299th Tactical Aviation Brigade of the Air Force, who was fighting the occupier in the hottest areas of the frontline, did not return from a combat mission," the statement said. The military emphasized that the pilots of the tactical aviation of the Air Force are working at the limit of their capabilities, using all available foreign-made weapons.

"The pilots carry out strikes in the face of active enemy opposition, and to perform their missions efficiently, they constantly have to enter the enemy air defense zone and endure high overloads during dangerous missions... The war is on, support the army, honor those who have given the most precious for the future of our children! Our Freedom and Independence are given to us at a high price. We need enough means and weapons and more determination from our partners to achieve a just peace in Ukraine! We will definitely take revenge for every Ukrainian whose heart has stopped beating because of Russia's senseless war of aggression...", the Armed Forces of Ukraine said in a statement.
