Narrative:
An aerobatic Su-31 aircraft made an emergency landing due to engine failure during a flight from Lviv to Slovakia near the village of Voloscha in western Ukraine. Judging by the livery, it is likely an N131GT aircraft that was damaged by a Russian attack at Kharkiv airport in June 2022. The Australian pilot, born in 1984, was not injured. The aircraft appears to be undamaged.
