I would have said
P. valida by the amount of reddish on antennae and the more yellowish body...

Stephane, "скорее всего" means "most probably" in Russian.
Most probably Ph. errans, because Ph. valida is rare in Central European Russia, for example, in Moscow region. In latitude of Donetsk region Ph. valida becomes more common, but still much less common than Ph. errans.
