Ukraine Under ‘Biggest Attack of the War’; F-16 Pilot Killed Defending Against Russian Onslaught
Ukraine is currently grappling with what President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has described as the ‘biggest attack of the war,’ prompting neighboring Poland to scramble jets and activate its air defense systems into readiness mode. The massive assault has seen Ukrainian forces deploying their full arsenal, including Western-supplied F-16 fighter jets, to repel the relentless barrage.
Tragically, an F-16 pilot, Maksym Ustymenko, was killed while defending against the onslaught. President Zelenskyy confirmed Ustymenko’s death on Sunday, stating the pilot had successfully destroyed seven aerial targets before his jet was damaged. The Ukrainian air force hailed Ustymenko as a hero, noting he ‘died like a hero!’
This week alone, Ukraine has faced over 114 missiles, 1,270 drones, and nearly 1,100 glide bombs, highlighting Moscow’s intensified summer offensive. Zelenskyy has renewed urgent calls for international allies to bolster Ukraine’s protection and pressure Russia to end the conflict, emphasizing that Putin remains committed to waging war despite global calls for peace.
