The US-made "Patriot" air defense system in the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv, was hit by Russian forces. A local media outlet called "Aerofan" has launched a petition, hoping that the Ukrainian authorities will posthumously award the title of Hero of Ukraine to Denis Valeryevich Sakun, the company commander of the 96th Air Defense Battalion. They said that this person was the chief engineer of the Ukrainian army operating the "Patriot" system, and he tried to salvage it after the air defense system was hit by Russian forces, but was killed by an explosion of ammunition. This media also hopes to name a street after this fallen company commander, which is also the first time that Ukrainian media has confirmed that the "Patriot" air defense system was hit.
