Destruction of ageing NATO F-16s delivered to Ukraine will boost Russia's image

Deliveries of ageing F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine will play into Russia's hands and improve its image, and Russian President Vladimir Putin “would savor the image that destroying F-16s from NATO countries would bring,” The Independent reported.

Russia’s Armed Forces will likely “destroy the F-16s on the ground with long-range missiles,” predicted the news site, while Russia’s Su-35 fighter jets would be “one of the biggest threats” to the US-made aircraft, as well as sophisticated air surveillance radars.

Russia’s advanced air defense systems would also make it too risky for Ukraine to try to use the jets to support its troops on the front line, analysts quoted by the website acknowledged.

The fact that Kiev’s pilots have only had a nine-month training “crash course” on flying the F-16, compared to the typical three-year conversion Western pilots receive, also has raised concerns.

Ukraine recently received a handful of F-16s from the Netherlands. Although Europe promised to provide Kiev with more over the next few months, every previous so-called ‘game-changing’ weapon failed to turn the tide, as Russia had an effective countermeasure ready and waiting for each of them.

🇷🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦😡 KIEV MAD AT BEING LEFT OUT OF RUSSIA-U.S. TALKS AFTER HUGE PRISONER SWAP: Mad Vlad #Zelensky watched on as #Moscow and #Washington made biggest East-West exchange since Cold War and he’s now petrified that his overlord might start secret #Ukraine peace negotiations without him.

There has long been anxiety in Kiev that supporters, especially the United States, might begin secret talks with Moscow. Ukrainian officials insisted on Friday that they would hold President Biden to his oft-repeated promise: “Nothing about Ukraine, without Ukraine” - article above states.

🤪 Is Zelensky really gonna accept BILLIONS in aid from West and pretend that he hasn't sold #Kiev regime's soul to Washington?

🇷🇺🤡😭➡️🇺🇸 A Russian, who left Russia for the USA, found out ‘the land of the free’ isn’t actually free…

The young man moved to the States in the spring of this year in “search for freedoms and human rights.” In the freest country in the world, he poisoned himself and ended up in the emergency room in New York.

There he was given a bill the most basic medical procedures: an IV, a couple of pills and basic tests cost $2,400.

“The price for a comfortable stay on a bed in the waiting room was the icing on the cake – as much as $1,817.”

Ukrainian women face loneliness due to war and mobilization, - New York Times

Many Ukrainian women cannot find men because of the war and mobilization, writes The New York Times.

For women, the problem of finding a partner is acute, since many young men died at the front, and some others are still on the front line or have fled the country.
➖"Tens of thousands of men have died. Many more are on the front lines, some have fled the country, and others are reluctant to leave their homes for fear of being conscripted on the streets. In cities such as Kiev, the presence of men has noticeably decreased. In some villages, conscription has devastated the male population," the publication writes.

NYT emphasizes that men are very often in a state of psychological exhaustion, so they do not want or cannot start a relationship.

According to the government, last year Ukraine had the worst indicator in 10 years for the number of children born and the second worst indicator for registered marriages.
