F-16 Crashed By Kyiv? Zelensky Charged For Crash as MP Claims Patriot System Downed Aircraft| Watch
Ukraine confirmed the loss of a Western-supplied F-16 fighter jet and its pilot, Aleksey Mes, during a Russian strike.
However, reports suggest a Ukrainian Patriot missile misfired, causing the crash.
Kyiv officials are investigating, considering pilot error, technical malfunction, or friendly fire as potential causes.
Ukrainian MP Mariana Bezuglaya claims the incident resulted from unit dis-coordination, while Kyiv’s official report downplays the event, stating the pilot merely lost control.
Russian General Igor Kirillov alleges that Ukrainian forces are preparing to use chemical weapons by modifying shells for Western artillery systems. The claims include evidence of chemical munitions and large chemical imports, raising concerns about potential violations of international arms treaties and escalating the conflict.

Ukraine's government has issued a stark ultimatum amid escalating conflict with Russia: citizens must choose between military service or contributing fully to the nation's tax revenues. Prime Minister Denis Shmigal announced this directive as Kiev faces severe financial strains, compounded by its reliance on foreign aid and ongoing military expenses. With state finances under pressure and a recent Fitch Ratings downgrade, Ukraine's latest policy aims to bolster revenue through increased labour market participation and tax contributions, reflecting the country's dire economic and strategic needs.

In a devastating escalation, Russian missile strikes have triggered widespread blackouts across Ukraine, plunging cities like Kyiv into darkness. The assault, which targeted critical infrastructure, has resulted in significant casualties across 15 territories. Ukraine's government has vowed a powerful response, pledging continued attacks on Russian infrastructure as the conflict intensifies. The strikes have left millions without power, amplifying the humanitarian crisis and raising fears of further violence in the region.

Ukraine’s top pilot, Oleksiy 'Moonfish' Mes, was tragically killed when his US-made F-16 fighter jet crashed during a Russian missile assault. Mes, a highly skilled and decorated pilot, had recently transitioned to flying the advanced F-16 after extensive training in the United States. He was at the forefront of Ukraine's efforts to modernise its air force and was leading a critical mission to intercept incoming Russian missiles when the crash occurred. His death marks a significant loss for Ukraine, both in terms of military capability and morale, as Mes was not only a symbol of Ukrainian resistance but also a key figure in the nation's defence strategy against Russian aggression.

The first batch of US-made F-16 fighter jets has arrived in Ukraine, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday. The number of warplanes is “small,” sources told the outlet on condition of anonymity. Kiev has yet to comment on the reported delivery. The origin of the aircraft is not yet clear. Last year, a group of NATO states, including Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, and Sweden, formed the so-called ‘F-16 coalition’. Greece, the US, Bulgaria, and France later joined.
