Vulytsya Symona Petlyury, Brovary, Brovary Raion, Kyiv Oblast - Ukraine
On 18 January 2023, around 06:10 UTC during flight en route Kozyn – Novi
Petrivtsi – Poltava, with the officials on board, by helicopter
EC 225 LP, reg. 54 (STATE AVIATION of Ukraine), operator “State
Emergency Service of Ukraine”, during flight above Brovary city,
rotorcraft collided with the building of the kindergarten “Dzhereltse”.
As a result helicopter was totally destroyed.
The 10 crew and passengers on board were killed. 4 persons, that were on
the ground, sustain fatal injuries, 25 person sustain injures
different level of severity.
Eyewitness testimony described the weather conditions in the area as
foggy, with witnesses reportedly seeing the helicopter on fire, and
circling towards the ground with its tail boom and rotor missing, before
crashing into the ground.
Twenty-five people located in and around the kindergarten were taken to
Brovary City Hospital, of which 8 had suffered serious burn injuries.
Due to the deteriorating situation in Ukraine following the ongoing
conflict, 6 of these patients were sent outside the country for further
specialized treatment.
 High profile passengers/crew members:
* Commander Oleksandr Vasylenko
* First Officer Kostiantyn Kovalenko
* Flight Engineer Ivan Kasianov
* Minister of Internal Affairs Denys Anatolievych
Monastyrskyi
* Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Yevhen
Volodymrovych Yenin
* Secretary of State for the Ministry of Internal Affairs
Yurii Olehovych Lubkovych
In addition, the chief of security for Monastyrsky, as well as 3
staffers for the Ministry of Internal Affairs were killed in the crash.
The helicopter was one of 21 H225 aircraft delivered to Ukraine as
assistance in replacing the countries aging fleet of Soviet aircraft,
such as the Mil Mi-8. The helicopter was originally delivered to a
customer in Norway in 2009, and was acquired by the State Emergency
Service of Ukraine after being refurbished in 2020 following periods of
ownership in Norway, Brazil and France.
On 3 August, the State Bureau of Investigation of Ukraine announced that
five State Emergency Service employees had been charged with safety
violations and negligence regarding the crash, namely the head of the
service's Department of Aviation and Air Search and Rescue, its acting
commander, the commander of the aviation squadron, the deputy commander
for flight training, and the head of the flight safety service of the
Special aviation unit from Nizhyn, Chernihiv Oblast.
The investigation established that the officials had committed blatant
violations of air traffic safety and operational rules, which lead to
the deaths of people.
State Bureau of Investigation findings:
It was established that in January 2023, a visit of the top officials of
the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine from Kyiv to the Kharkov and
Dnepropetrovsk Oblasts was planned.
Despite the internal instructions and legal requirements, State
Emergency Service officials used a helicopter that was designated to
provide emergency air services for the city of Kyiv and the surrounding
area. The aircraft had no permits or verification for any other types of
flights. During the preparation for the flight, the crew commander was
not informed of the meteorological data along the route of the planned
flight. Of particular interest there were unfavorable weather conditions
over the city of Brovary. In addition the crew did not have the
appropriate flight plans, or certifications to fly in difficult weather
conditions. However, none of the officials responsible for flight safety
cancelled the flight, or at least postponed it until favorable weather
conditions improved.
Due to difficult weather conditions, the helicopter was forced to fly at
an extremely low altitude, even lower than the height of high rise
buildings along the route. From this, the cause of the crash is
attributed to the pilot attempting to maneuver over an oncoming
building, but lost spatial orientation in the poor weather and crashed
into the ground.
When the helicopter crashed, it damaged a kindergarten, neighboring
buildings and parked cars.
Officials of the Aviation Department of the State Emergency Service of
Ukraine were served with a notice of suspicion of violating flight
safety rules (air traffic safety), which caused the death of people and
large scale material damage, i.e. of committing a criminal office under
Article 276 of the Criminal Court of Ukraine.
The head of the flight safety service of the same unit was served a
notice of suspicion under Article 367 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine
(official negligence).
On 29 August 2024, Ukrainska Pravda reported that the case had been
transferred to court. Prosecutors filed an indictment against five
officials of the State Service of Ukraine for involvement in the
disaster. The investigation concluded that the accused grossly violated
flight security rules which carried on board the leadership of the
Ministry of Internal Affairs. Foreign experts were involved in the
investigation, including representatives from the helicopters
manufacturer Airbus Helicopters (formerly Eurocopter).
