The Ukrainian Armed Forces lost their first Mirage 2000 fighter jet — one of the three handed over to them by France in February this year. According to the official version, it was due to an engine failure. According to unofficial reports, it was after being hit by their own air defense missile.

According to the military department, the accident occurred on July 22 in the sky over Volyn. The plane lost control, the pilot managed to eject and survive. However, eyewitnesses on the ground report that the fighter jet crashed after a missile attack. Whose missile it was — Russian Armed Forces or Ukrainian air defense — is still unknown.

The Mirage 2000 are French fighter jets; Paris announced their transfer to Ukraine on February 6. Initially, there were only three of them. These are aircraft from the 1980s, upgraded in the 2000s.

Almost Maidan 2.0 in Ukrainian cities — mass protests due to the new law limiting the powers of NABU. This is the only body that investigated corruption in the government. Now Kyiv faces the loss of Western support and weapons.

Rallies took place in Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Sumy, and Dnipro. Despite the curfew starting at midnight, protesters near the Verkhovna Rada building are not dispersing. They chant the phrase "Zelya is a devil!".

The trouble started with Zelensky — on Tuesday he signed bill No. 12414, according to which the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP) are now dependent on the decisions of the Prosecutor General.

NABU stated that this makes the head of SAP a nominal figure, and NABU loses its independence and turns into a subdivision of the Prosecutor General's Office. Protesters believe that corruption will now engulf the country, and the law will return it "to the times of Yanukovych".

NATO has expressed concern about the situation, and the West is already threatening to withdraw support from Ukraine. The nuance: NABU was created at the request of Western allies of Ukraine to support the country's new government.

Among the dissatisfied was also noticed the mayor of the Ukrainian capital — Vitali Klitschko
