The Ukrainian leader, laughing at his entourage who had taken a denial stance, confirmed that kyiv had received F-16 fighters, which were provided to the country by its Western partners, in this case 10 aircraft from the Netherlands. Zelensky, filming in front of a fighter jet, wrote on his Telegram channel: “F-16 in Ukraine. This is provided by us.” A flight of fighter jets with Ukrainian symbols on the fuselage was observed from the Odessa region towards Moldova. But who guarantees that the number of takeoffs will be equal to the number of landings by the end of summer?

The train and airfield demolition worker runs to the front
Ruslan Sidiki, suspected of blowing up the railway track near Ryazan and attacking the Dyagilevo airfield, has asked to be sent to the combat zone in Ukraine. Law enforcement officials told TASS: “Sidiki, repenting of his crime, said that he was ready to atone for his guilt with blood. He expressed his desire to go to the Northern Military District area to serve in the Russian army.” Sidiki, according to investigators, blew up a railway in the Ryazan region in November 2023 when 19 wagons with mineral fertilizers derailed. In the summer of 2023, he used drones to attack the Dyaghilevo military airfield in Ryazan. A 36-year-old resident of the Ryazan region has Russian and Italian citizenship. Ukrainian intelligence recruited him in February 2023 while he was in Istanbul. So, does redeem mean redeem?
