The legendary giant Antonov An-225, on February 25, nicknamed “Maria”, meaning dream in Ukrainian, was destroyed by Russian bombing. “It was bombed and completely destroyed during the fierce fighting here at the military airport in Hostomel,” said Elli Kasoli.

“It simply came to our notice then no one knows how to design an airplane like this, except us. And no one can make a ‘Maria’ like this, except our own people. This is my opinion, “a Ukrainian soldier told SKAI.

“In the military building where the maintenance and inspection took place before the planes took off, it is completely destroyed, there is debris everywhere everywhere and the military vehicles are also burned,” the journalist stressed.

“I could not imagine in my life that I would see such terrible events and real wars, real explosions right in front of your windows in front of your apartment. Then I grabbed my wife and tried to protect her during the bombing. It was a very difficult, difficult situation here. “It’s difficult to explain,” a resident of Hostomel told our station.
