Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is facing intense criticism from within his own ranks following significant battlefield setbacks in both the Donbass and Kursk regions. According to the Financial Times, soldiers, lawmakers, and military analysts are expressing frustration over the rapid advances made by Russian forces, which have reportedly exploited weaknesses in Ukraine’s defense strategy. The situation has deteriorated as Russian troops have breached Ukrainian lines in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), closing in on the strategically crucial city of Pokrovsk. This city’s loss would have severe implications for Ukrainian military logistics, with analysts describing the current defensive situation as a “complete failure” and “complete chaos.”

The Biden administration has rejected a Pentagon proposal to send American contractors to Ukraine to maintain Western-supplied military hardware, including F-16 fighter jets, deeming it too risky. The White House expects NATO allies in Europe to handle the maintenance, with the Netherlands planning to fund a private contract for this purpose. This decision comes amid Ukraine's first F-16 loss and ongoing concerns over maintaining sophisticated Western weapons.

Ukraine's cross-border incursion into Russia's Kursk region has forced Russian mercenaries in junta-led Burkina Faso to withdraw, impacting their operations. Viktor Yermolaev, commander of the Medvedi (Bears) unit, confirmed that many fighters returned to Russia to bolster Moscow's defenses, while some remained in West Africa. This move disrupts the activities of mercenary groups like the Bear Brigade, which, along with the now-defunct Wagner Group, are seen as closely tied to the Russian state.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has dismissed General Mykola Oleshchuk from his position as head of the Ukrainian Air Force following a public dispute related to a fatal F-16 jet crash. The incident, which resulted in the death of pilot Aleksey ‘Moonfish’ Mes, has ignited a heated controversy between Oleshchuk and MP Mariana Bezuglaya from Zelenskyy’s ruling Servant of the People party. Bezuglaya claimed that the jet was accidentally downed by a US-donated Patriot air defence system, a statement Oleshchuk vehemently denied, accusing her of undermining the military and aiding Russian propaganda.
