ℹ️ #Alexander_Shemet had been participating in the #ATO since 2015, and at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, he was defending #Kyiv. It was he who carried out the last successful air breakthrough to the #Azovstal plant in #Mariupol in April 2022. The pilot managed to deliver ammunition and medical supplies there, and brought back the wounded.
For this, he was awarded the title of Hero of #Ukraine with the "#Gold_Star" order.
🕯 May the memory of the Hero rest in peace.
