"The Ghost of Kyiv" is an urban legend of a lone fighter pilot who claimed to have shot down six Russian aircraft during the first 24 hours of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. If true, he would arguably be the first ace in a day since WWII. However, reports of the Ghost of Kyiv are unconfirmed and it is highly debatable if he even exists. Despite this, the legend of "The Ghost of Kyiv" will continue to conjure up hope to those who are defending their homes.
