He stated, ‘Ukrainian pilots are beyond any compare. Their ability to fly at ultralow altitudes is truly unique. The work the Ukrainian service personnel perform to stabilize situation in the DR Congo cannot be overestimated. I say this not because I am in Ukraine and with gratitude for Ukrainian hospitality. I say so, because it’s an honest truth, and anyone who has seen Ukrainian pilots in action can confirm my words’.
