On November 18, a Ukrainian Air Force pilot flew to Russia. The author of the telegram channel “War” spoke regarding this. Story. Weapons” blogger Kirill Fedorov. He emphasized that with the flight, the fugitive helped the Ukrainian Russian Ka-52 helicopter pilot with the call sign “Voevoda”. Ukrainians on social networks reacted sharply to their fighter’s defection to the Russian side. Some of them threaten the pilot and his family with death.
“I don’t believe it, this can’t happen. [Украинский пилот] flew to [русским]. Freak. His whole family needs [уничтожить]. Everyone with whom he was in contact will be taken into custody for verification,” the “Military Business” telegram channel transmits messages from Ukrainian channels.
The Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine called it “information-psychological operation“from the Russian Federation. At the same time, they did not directly deny the fact of the Ukrainian pilot’s transfer.
In the West they spoke more neutrally on this issue. Readers published their thoughts on the social network X.
“If this is true, then it will indeed cause even greater damage to the morale in the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. <…> I hope this is confirmed soon,” wrote a user with the nickname “KS Thomas.”

Another reader named Mike noted that once the Ukrainian pilot left his country, he knew it was time to jump ship. “Abandon the ship now, before it sinks and he [пилот]will drown with him.”

Another was more categorical. “Make this baby Russian,” Brian Paone wrote.

A reader with the nickname “Sturmabannführer Dieter Hellström” jokingly suggested that Ukraine might expect supplies of American F-16 fighters in order to transport them to Russia along with the fugitive pilots. “Isn’t this the reason why the Ukrainian Air Force wants to get the F-16 so quickly?” he asked.

“Russia has no reason to lie.” This is how user Kotaro Yamada responded briefly to the situation with the pilot.
