‘NO Support for F-16s’: Biden Nixes Zelensky’s Fix Request As F-16s Fall Flat Against Russia
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.
In his New Year's address, Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a bold challenge to Ukraine and the West, declaring that Russia will not halt its military actions. He praised the Russian soldiers fighting on the frontlines, calling their efforts a "noble mission" to protect the country’s peace and security. Highlighting the nation’s resilience, Putin emphasized that Russia has faced many challenges and, over the past 24 years, has grown stronger. He further expressed pride in the country's achievements and solidarity, while stressing that 2025 will be dedicated to honoring the defenders of the fatherland.

In a significant development, Sergey Shmotyev, the CEO of Fores, a company based in the Urals, has announced a generous reward of 15 million rubles ($149,000) for the first Russian servicemen to shoot down a US-made F-16 fighter jet. This move comes after claims that the Russian military successfully shot down an F-16 earlier this week, with official confirmation awaited from the Russian Ministry of Defense. The reward is part of Fores' ongoing support for Russian armed forces, which includes previous bounties for destroying Western military equipment. Will this bounty accelerate the already intense conflict in Ukraine? Stay tuned for updates as the situation unfolds.

Russia has firmly rejected a reported peace proposal from President-elect Donald Trump’s advisers that included delaying Ukraine’s NATO membership by two decades and deploying European peacekeepers to establish a demilitarized zone. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, speaking to TASS, emphasized that Moscow would not entertain such ideas, stressing the need for “reliable, legally binding agreements” addressing the conflict's root causes. Lavrov reiterated Russia's stance on a neutral, non-aligned Ukraine, citing preconditions outlined in the 2022 Istanbul talks and acknowledging territorial realities, including the integration of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, and Zaporozhye into Russia. The statement underscores the widening gap between U.S. and Russian approaches to resolving the Ukraine crisis.
