‘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.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot has stated that Ukraine may use French missiles to attack targets in internationally recognized Russian territory, without specifying whether such strikes have already occurred. Barrot stated that Paris does "not set and express red lines" in its support for Kiev, and that long-range strikes on Russian soil may be carried out by Ukraine "in the logics of self-defense." France supplied Ukraine with an unknown number of SCALP-EG cruise missiles.

Trump is reportedly considering Richard Grenell for the role of special envoy for the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Known for his diplomatic experience and controversial views, Grenell could play a crucial role in facilitating peace negotiations. He opposes Ukraine’s NATO membership and has advocated for "autonomous zones" in conflict areas. Trump’s plan includes halting Ukraine's NATO aspirations and establishing a freeze along the front line to advance a peaceful resolution.

In a dramatic escalation, Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued his second warning to the U.S. and NATO in just 24 hours, announcing the readiness of Russia’s powerful Oreshnik hypersonic missile system. The missile, a game-changer in modern warfare, is poised to be deployed in combat as a key strategic asset in Russia’s arsenal. With no current means of interception by any nation, the Oreshnik missile's devastating power and precision could redefine the global military balance. This latest development signals growing tensions between Russia and the West, as fears of a wider conflict, potentially spiralling into World War III, intensify.

The United Kingdom has issued a strong warning, declaring its military is prepared to join the fight against Russia “tonight” if Moscow escalates aggression in Eastern Europe. Lieutenant General Sir Rob Magowan assured the Commons Defence Committee of the British Army's readiness, stating that any Russian invasion would be met with immediate resistance. Amid growing tensions over Ukraine, where Kyiv has launched strikes using US-supplied Atacms missiles, and concerns about NATO's eastern flank, the UK has bolstered its presence in Estonia and remains committed to defending Europe. As fears of a broader conflict loom, the possibility of World War III grows ever more tangible.

Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev has warned that the deployment of the Oreshnik missile in Ukraine marks a pivotal shift in the ongoing conflict, with potentially severe consequences. In an interview with Al Arabiya, Medvedev stated that the missile's use could drastically change the course of Russia's "special military operation" in Ukraine. This missile, fired in retaliation for Western weapons used against Russian territory, has the capability to reach targets across Europe, amplifying the risk of further escalation. Russian President Vladimir Putin echoed this sentiment, emphasising that the missile’s continued use would depend on security threats to Russia. Medvedev’s remarks come amid rising tensions over NATO’s involvement and the growing possibility of nuclear escalation in the conflict.
