Ghost Of Kyiv Art vintage style poster art by – Squadron Posters!
The Ghost of Kyiv (Ukrainian: Привид Києва, romanized: Pryvyd Kyyeva) is the nickname given to an unconfirmed MiG-29 Fulcrum flying ace who is credited with shooting down six Russian planes in the Kyiv offensive on 24 February 2022. The Ghost of Kyiv is likely an urban legend and not a real flying ace, but their status was credited as a major morale boost for the Ukrainian population.

Hi Squadron Posters,
Thank you for standing with refugees and displaced persons in times of crisis and beyond. The situation in Ukraine is extremely volatile and continues to escalate rapidly. Your generosity shows the committed unwavering support you have for people forced to flee their homes to seek safety. Thank you.Â
The crisis in Ukraine is changing rapidly. But the commitment and support from caring individuals like you ensures that critical aid and services are ready to meet the needs of refugee families. Yesterday, following his mission to the region, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, issued a statement to mark the shocking milestone of 2 million refugees in 12 days. Please read the full statement on UNHCR.org, and see an excerpt below:
“We have passed the shocking milestone of 2 million refugees fleeing Ukraine in just 12 days, mainly into five neighbouring countries. Over half are fleeing to Poland alone. After five days on the ground in the region – meeting refugees, humanitarian workers, local responders and Governments – while I am heartened by the welcome shown, I am deeply saddened for Ukraine and its people.
At the borders I saw an exodus of people, mostly women and children, along with older refugees and people with disabilities.They arrived shocked and deeply impacted by the violence and their arduous journeys to safety. Families have been senselessly ripped apart. Tragically, unless the war is stopped, the same will be true for many more.”
“Inside Ukraine the picture is shocking. People are on the move or sheltering from the brutal war as best they can.Teams from UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, along with our local partners are delivering aid where and when they can but access is restricted and unsafe. With the ICRC, the UN is trying to negotiate safe passages, but to do that we need the guns to fall silent.”
We will certainly keep you informed with the latest updates as the situation in Ukraine evolves and share with you how your compassionate support is having a direct impact on the lives of families who have lost everything. For the latest figures, please visit our Ukraine emergency page. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns that you may have.Â
Thank you for standing with displaced families as they confront the most challenging moments of their lives.Â
With gratitude,
USA for UNHCR – The UN Refugee Agency
