The corresponding decree, No. 600/2024, was published on the president’s website on Friday, August 30, reports Ukrinform.
Lieutenant General Anatoliy Kryvonozhko, who held the position of the chief of Air Force Command Center, was appointed acting Air Force Commander.
Earlier today, in a post on social media, Oleshchuk wrote the Air Force Command was making no secret of the recent crash of the F-16 fighter jet piloted by Oleksii Mes, adding that the investigation is ongoing.
According to Oleshchuk, information about such incidents cannot be promptly released into the public space and detailed for the media as Ukraine is currently at war.
He also called on People’s Deputy Maryana Bezuhla not to discredit “the manufacturers of American weapons – Ukraine’s major ally, the USA”.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, on August 26, Ukrainian pilot Oleksii Mes was killed on combat duty while repelling a Russian missile attack.
