‘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 a stunning political shift, nearly 90% of Ukrainians say they don’t trust U.S. President Donald Trump, according to a new poll marking his first 100 days back in office. Once seen as a possible dealmaker in the Russia-Ukraine war, Trump is now viewed with deep skepticism in Kyiv after refusing to provide security guarantees, blaming Ukrainian leadership for the ongoing conflict, and proposing a controversial peace plan that many see as favoring Moscow. Is Trump abandoning Ukraine? Or reshaping U.S. foreign policy with cold realism?

U.S Special Envoy Steve Witkoff recently met Russian President Vladimir Putin in a bid to persuade Russia for a ceasefire deal in Ukraine. This was the 4th such meeting in just over 2 months, but there seems to be no breakthrough yet as Putin remains firm recognition of Russia's control over Crimea and the four regions under Russian control since 2022. With peace talks stalling, could a Putin-Trump summit be the only path forward?

US President Donald Trump has claimed Ukraine could be “crushed very shortly” unless it agrees to peace talks with Russia. In an interview with The Atlantic, Trump said he’s trying to save Ukraine by pushing for negotiations, suggesting Moscow is open to a deal. He criticized Kiev’s stance, especially on Crimea, and hinted Zelensky was tougher to negotiate with than Putin. Meanwhile, Vice President Vance echoed similar concerns, and Secretary of State Rubio warned of the US abandoning talks if delays persist. Trump is also seeking a minerals agreement with Ukraine.

26-year-old pilot Pavlo Ivanov was tragically killed in the mission, making this the second confirmed F-16 loss in the Ukraine war. However, a major question remains: Who shot it down — Russia or Ukraine itself?
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has demanded a full military report into the incident, as speculation grows over whether this was enemy fire or another deadly case of friendly fire. Russian military blogs claim the jet was downed by a surface-to-air missile (SAM), but Kyiv has not confirmed the cause.
With rising tensions, high-risk air missions, and increasing losses, the F-16 saga raises urgent questions about Ukraine's air defense coordination and battlefield clarity.

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev claims that Western European leaders are waging a “quiet war” against former President Trump. He suggests that ideological conflicts, particularly over tariffs and NATO disagreements, are driving a wedge between the U.S. and Europe. Medvedev predicts that despite Europe’s large economy, the U.S. will emerge victorious due to its superior economic and military strength. He also highlighted the growing divide between Europe's neo-globalist forces and Trump’s conservative, traditionalist movement, which is paving the way for a potential reconciliation with Russia.

Chinese scientists have unveiled a powerful quantum sensor that could tip the balance in undersea warfare. Tested offshore, the drone-mounted system achieves picotesla-level precision, tracking submarines and mapping seabed resources with unprecedented accuracy. The breakthrough overcomes limitations of traditional magnetometers, offering omnidirectional detection even in low-latitude blind zones like the South China Sea. Using coherent population trapping in rubidium atoms, the new Chinese sensor rivals NATO’s MAD-XR at a fraction of the cost, potentially reshaping anti-submarine operations across key strategic waters.
