The body of the commander of the downed Russian helicopter, Senior Lieutenant Roman Mankishev, was discovered on the shore of the Kyiv reservoir in Vyshhorod.
This was reported by the head of the National Police in the Kyiv region, Andriy Nebitov.
“The pilot Roma went swimming, probably to celebrate May 9. For some reason, he didn’t want to stay at home. ‘Holiday is a holiday!’ A good example for all Russians. It’s better to stay at home than to become an accomplice to war crimes”, he said.
Law enforcement officials have established that the deceased was a Russian military serviceman, as evidenced by his uniform and breast chevron. A pilot’s manual for the Mi-24 helicopter was also found.
