In major help to Ukraine’s fight against Russia, the United States has decided to allow European countries to train Ukrainians on F-16 fighter jets, a top-level Biden administration official has confirmed .
The decision cements a stark turnaround for President Joe Biden, who said earlier this year that he did not believe that Ukraine needed the F-16s.
One of the main issues Kyiv’s ground forces have faced as their counteroffensive gets underway is Russian air power holding them back.
Russia still maintains air superiority, which makes it difficult for ground forces to advance.
In May, Biden had informed G7 leaders that the US would support a joint effort with allies and partners to train Ukrainian pilots on fourth generation aircraft, including F-16s, though it was unclear at the time when that training would start.
As tensions escalate in the Ukraine conflict, Russian officials accuse the Biden administration of deliberately obstructing peace efforts ahead of President-elect Trump’s return to the White House. With U.S.-supplied weapons striking deep into Russian territory and Putin issuing stark warnings to NATO, the stakes have never been higher. Is Biden’s outgoing administration fueling conflict to hinder Trump’s diplomatic plans? Explore the latest developments and their global implications.

The House passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown just hours before the midnight deadline. The bill extends funding through March 2025, providing disaster relief and farm aid, but excludes the debt limit suspension demanded by President-elect Trump. The bill now moves to the Senate for approval before being sent to President Biden. Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans worked to secure Democratic support, while Trump’s opposition led to changes in the bill's provisions.

A shocking video has surfaced showing a Russian kamikaze drone successfully destroying a US-supplied Stryker armored vehicle in Kharkiv, Ukraine. The drone, launched by a Russian reconnaissance team, intercepted the moving Stryker vehicle and targeted its vulnerable top hatch, causing a devastating strike. The destruction was confirmed through aerial surveillance footage. The Stryker, part of the US’s military aid to Ukraine, has been heavily used in Ukraine’s counteroffensive efforts, including the incursion into Russia's Kursk region. This precise drone strike highlights the increasing use of FPV drones in modern warfare, emphasizing their efficiency and targeting accuracy in real-time operations

Russian forces have captured the strategically important village of Storozheve in eastern Ukraine, marking a significant shift in the ongoing conflict. The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed the "liberation" of the village, which is located near the southern front line in the Donetsk region. This move is part of a broader Russian effort to encircle the nearby town of Velyka Novosilka, increasing pressure on Ukrainian forces already outgunned and outmanned. Military analysts suggest this capture may signal the beginning of a fresh Russian offensive in the region, with Moscow seeking to secure additional territorial gains ahead of potential shifts in international leadership. As the situation intensifies, Ukraine faces increasing challenges to hold its positions in the face of Russian advances.

Russian President Vladimir Putin escalated the war with a revenge-driven drone assault on Ukraine, launching more than 100 drones on December 22, a day after Ukraine struck high-rise buildings in Kazan, Russia. The attack targeted multiple Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, Kherson, Mykolayiv, and Zaporizhzhya, causing significant damage to businesses and apartment buildings. Ukrainian air defenses managed to intercept 52 of the 103 drones, preventing casualties, though the strikes intensified fears of further infrastructure destruction. This deadly retaliation comes after a devastating attack in Kazan, Russia, on December 21, where Ukrainian forces targeted the capital of Tatarstan, marking a notable escalation in the conflict.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has sharply criticized both Ukraine and its Western allies for their failure to address the ongoing crisis in Donbass, accusing Ukraine of betraying peace efforts. In a recent interview, Putin stated that Russia should have launched military action against Kiev much earlier, warning that any inaction would have been a "crime" against Russia's national interests. He pointed to the failure of the Minsk agreements, which were intended to provide special status to the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, but were never fully implemented by Ukraine.

In a decisive and powerful strike, Russian forces have targeted and destroyed a German-made Leopard tank, along with several other key military assets, in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region. Using kamikaze drones, the Russian military identified the Leopard tank through reconnaissance UAVs before launching a series of devastating drone attacks. The tank was seen engulfed in flames as it was struck multiple times. In addition to the Leopard tank, two more tanks, an M113 APC, and two pickup trucks were eliminated. Russian forces also neutralized five Soviet-made D30 howitzers and four U.S.-made M101 and M119 howitzers. This destruction occurred during a failed Ukrainian counter-attack, leading to significant losses for Kyiv in an ongoing battle for control in the region.
