Russian President Vladimir Putin has raised alarm over the U.S.'s reported plan to grant Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy unrestricted authority to conduct strikes deep into Russian territory. This potential policy shift by Washington marks a dramatic escalation in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. According to Moscow, this move effectively positions the U.S. as a direct participant in the war. The decision could have profound implications for the conflict's trajectory, increasing tensions between the nuclear powers and potentially leading to broader global ramifications.

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.

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.
