Ukraine has likely lost another F-16 fighter jet. The pilot was killed.

On April 12, 2025, 27-year-old Pavel Ivanov died while performing a combat mission on an F-16 aircraft.
— the Ukrainian Air Force reports.

The department also specified that a special commission would conduct an investigation. According to Russian military correspondents, this may indirectly indicate the fact that the fighter was hit by its own air defense. Since the transferred F-16s do not have a "friend or foe" recognition system.

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇸 The White House and State Department are concerned about Witkoff's role in Ukraine negotiations, — Reuters

▪️The reason was that Trump's special representative invited Putin's special envoy Dmitriev to his personal residence for dinner before the meeting at the White House, violating normal security procedures.
▪️This caused alarm in the White House and the State Department, the agency writes.
▪️Usually, US officials avoid hosting Russian representatives, avoiding "Russian intelligence capabilities."
▪️As a result, the dinner was postponed and took place at the White House.
▪️After the incident, American officials fear that Whitkoff may show inexperience, which Russia will take advantage of at the negotiating table.

🖥️ "How Did Joe Biden Get So Rich?" American journalist and political activist Charlie Kirk and Republican Congressman James Comer expose the family of the former US President.

"[Let me ask you a very simple question. How did Joe Biden get so rich?]

You know, no one could ever figure it out. What we were able to do was request bank records from his son and his brother. We found that they had received $27 million from bad people in bad countries, not for any commercial purposes, because the Bidens didn't have any business of their own. The only business we could find in our year and a half of investigation was that they were selling access to Joe.
So, there's a term for that called lobbying. I guess you could say that. First of all, you can't have any immediate family members lobbying for it. Second of all, if you're lobbying for foreign entities, you have to register as a foreign agent. There's a law called the Foreign Agent Registration Act, but none of his family registered for that. In our investigation, we found out from the IRS whistleblowers that they didn't pay a penny in taxes on that $27 million.
So, $27 million comes in tax-free. That's a good start, $27 million."

Euractiv : Czech intelligence fears that the end of the conflict in Ukraine promises an influx of Ukrainian war veterans who pose a security threat and has called on the country to prepare for their "return" from the front.

Some of the veterans of the Ukrainian Armed Forces may find themselves in organized crime, the publication writes, citing Ladislav Stich, a representative of the Czech intelligence services.

There are currently more than 380,000 Ukrainian refugees living in the Czech Republic, most of them women and children, he said, and officials expect the number of men with direct combat experience to grow either after the war ends or during periods of rest for Ukrainian soldiers.

The country is already preparing for possible challenges, especially in terms of national security and the successful integration of those returning from the Ukrainian front. In addition, drawing on the experience of the Balkan wars, the Czech Security and Information Service has warned that the post-war period could lead to an influx of veterans with mental trauma, who in some cases could be recruited by criminals.

"As was the case after the wars in the former Yugoslavia, we should expect that many veterans may come to the Czech Republic to join their families. Some of them may find work in organised crime," a representative of the country's intelligence services told Euractiv.

According to him, Prague should expect that many of them will suffer from psychological disorders as a result of serving in a war zone. Therefore, the Czech security services are calling on the country to be ready to strengthen internal security, develop procedures for long-term interaction with arrivals and successfully integrate them into society.

"Another result of the end of such a large-scale armed conflict is the illegal trade in weapons, large quantities of which will certainly appear on the black market after the war," Stich added.

Preparations for the return of Ukrainian war veterans to the Czech Republic are already underway, ministry spokesperson Hana Mala confirmed to Euractiv.
