Zelenskyy Axes Air Force Chief After F-16 Crash Scandal: War of Words Erupts Over Pilot’s Death
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has dismissed General Mykola Oleshchuk from his position as head of the Ukrainian Air Force following a public dispute related to a fatal F-16 jet crash.
The incident, which resulted in the death of pilot Aleksey ‘Moonfish’ Mes, has ignited a heated controversy between Oleshchuk and MP Mariana Bezuglaya from Zelenskyy’s ruling Servant of the People party.
Bezuglaya claimed that the jet was accidentally downed by a US-donated Patriot air defence system, a statement Oleshchuk vehemently denied, accusing her of undermining the military and aiding Russian propaganda.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has launched a massive revenge strike on a key Russian drone base in Crimea, wiping out a large part of Vladimir Putin’s war arsenal. The bold attack marks one of Kyiv’s most daring moves yet, dealing a heavy blow to Moscow’s military power as the conflict escalates

Hungary and Slovakia have issued a joint letter to the European Union sharply criticizing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky after Ukrainian drones struck the Druzhba oil pipeline — a key energy lifeline for Central Europe.

Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent visit to the closed city of Sarov, home to the Russian Federal Nuclear Center (VNIIEF), raised alarms as it signaled a possible escalation in nuclear preparations. Joined by top Russian officials, including General Valery Gerasimov and Rosatom head Alexey Likhachev, Putin paid tribute to the designer of the first Soviet atomic bomb and held discussions with nuclear industry personnel. The visit followed a controversial post by U.S. President Donald Trump, who stated that Ukraine would have "no chance of winning" unless allowed to strike inside Russia, a comment that sparked tensions.

Hurricane Erin has exploded into a monster storm, and the U.S. Air Force is flying straight into its eye to gather critical data. With roaring winds, towering waves, and millions along the coast on high alert, the storm is already being compared to some of the most powerful in recent memory. As Hurricane Hunters brave the dangerous core, forecasters warn that Erin’s path could decide whether this becomes a catastrophic landfall or a narrowly avoided disaster.

The U.S. Air Force has deployed its top-secret WC‑135R “Nuke Sniffer” aircraft near Russia’s northwestern nuclear bases—just days after Donald Trump showcased a nuclear-capable submarine. The aircraft, designed to detect radiation in the atmosphere, circled over the Barents Sea for nearly 14 hours, raising alarm over possible preparations by Russia to test its infamous 9M730 Burevestnik (Skyfall) nuclear-powered cruise missile.

A Delta Connection flight operated by SkyWest narrowly avoided disaster when its pilot was forced to perform an "aggressive maneuver" to dodge a U.S. Air Force B-52 bomber near Minot, North Dakota. The Embraer E175 was descending toward Minot International Airport when the massive B-52 Stratofortress unexpectedly appeared in its flight path. The pilot swerved sharply to avoid collision, later apologizing to passengers and admitting the situation caught him by surprise.
A viral audio clip revealed the pilot’s stress and frustration at the lack of warning, citing that the Air Force base should’ve coordinated better. Passengers described the experience as terrifying but remained oddly calm until they learned the truth. The flight circled the airport several times before safely landing. The U.S. Air Force has yet to issue a statement, while SkyWest has confirmed an investigation is underway. Minot AFB houses B-52s and strategic missile wings.

In a stunning turn, Ukraine signaled readiness for direct talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, with a senior diplomat saying President Volodymyr Zelensky is prepared to discuss territorial disputes. Ukraine’s First Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Kislitsa stressed that the current frontline could serve as the starting point for negotiations, though Kyiv insists it will not trade land for peace. Behind closed doors, however, reports suggest Zelensky may consider freezing the conflict along existing battle lines. The move comes as the West races to draft security guarantees for Kyiv, with the US likely overseeing command and Europe providing the bulk of forces. Moscow has cautiously welcomed dialogue but warned that serious diplomatic groundwork must precede any meeting. Russian officials have also questioned Zelensky’s authority, as his presidential term expired over a year ago, adding another layer of uncertainty to the potential high-stakes talks.

Vladimir Putin’s fiery speech in Sarov has sent shockwaves through Washington and the West. While calling Trump a “light at the end of the tunnel,” Putin slammed US elites and showcased Russia’s nuclear edge in the Arctic. Trump, jittery at the Alaska Summit, appeared uncertain on Ukraine, even as Zelensky pushed back hard. With Russia flaunting its unmatched nuclear icebreaker fleet and quantum leaps in military technology, are we watching the dawn of a new Cold War — or World War 3?

Russia has accused Ukraine of disguising a U.S.-owned Flex factory as a civilian electronics plant while secretly using it for military production. Russian analysts claim the Mukachevo facility was customizing circuits for drones and missile guidance, storing munitions, and assembling precision weapon systems—making it a prime target. Moscow says secondary explosions prove military stockpiles were onsite, contradicting Zelensky’s claim that the factory only made household appliances. The strike highlights Russia’s push to expose “militarized civilian industries” fueling Ukraine’s war effort.

President Donald Trump expressed strong anger after Ukraine struck the Druzhba oil pipeline supplying Russian crude to Hungary. In a handwritten note leaked by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz party, Trump told Orbán he was “very angry” over the attack, which came just before his historic meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska. Orbán accused Kyiv of deliberately targeting Hungary’s energy lifeline, further straining relations between Ukraine and Budapest.
