About Ghost Of Kyiv Merch
Various reports, including the Security Service of Ukraine, made similar claims. The Ghost of Kyiv has been credited as a morale booster for Ukrainians and as a narrative for Ukraine’s success during the Russo-Ukrainian War.
Two months after the spread, the Ukrainian Air Force acknowledged that he was a myth, and warned people not to “neglect the basic rules of information hygiene” and to “check the sources of information, before spreading it”.
Confirmation Of Falsehood
On 30 April 2022, Ukraine’s Air Force Command admitted the mythical status of the Ghost of Kyiv, writing that “The ghost of Kyiv is a superhero-legend, whose character was created by Ukrainians,” and that “the #GhostOfKyiv is alive, it embodies the collective spirit of the highly qualified pilots”. It was acknowledged that he was just a piece of propaganda created to “raise morale at a time when people need simple stories”, and warned people to not “neglect the basic rules of information hygiene” and to “check the sources of information, before spreading it”.
The statement came after multiple media outlets published stories wrongly identifying Major Stepan Tarabalka as the man behind the moniker. Tarabalka was a real pilot who died on 13 March 2022 during air combat and was posthumously awarded the title Hero of Ukraine.
