On November 5, 2026, Yuriy Ihnat, a representative of the Ukrainian Air Force, denied Slovak media reports about the death of a Ukrainian soldier during an incident at a hotel. According to him, this information is fake.
Slovak Media Reports on the Incident
Slovak media published news claiming that Ukrainian soldiers were involved in an incident that occurred in a hotel. However, Yuriy Ihnat stated that this information is not true.
Training of Ukrainian Soldiers Abroad
Ihnat clarified that currently neither pilots nor other aviation personnel from Ukraine are undergoing training in Slovakia. Many Ukrainian soldiers are indeed undergoing flight training abroad, but not in this country. This confirms that the information regarding the involvement of Ukrainian soldiers in the incident is false.
