"Neighboring Poland scrambled jets and activated its ground-based air defense units into readiness mode because of the attacks across the border in Ukraine.

Ukraine used its full arsenal to repel the attack, including combat aircraft, officials said. F-16 fighter jets provided by Western allies have become a key tool for defending against Russia's missile attacks.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said one F-16 pilot was killed. "Tragically, while repelling the attack, our F-16 pilot, Maksym Ustymenko, died. Today, he destroyed seven aerial targets," Zelenskyy said in a statement on Sunday."

Wow, really? I thought Trump ended this war before he ever even got into Office... just like he built the Wall with Mexico's money and won the 2020 Election!

he did.

This is a new war between Russia and Ukraine.

Trump is infallible. Other people let him down.

Pres Putin looks to be taking advantage of Pres Trump's diversion of attention from Ukraine to Israel.

"while one Ukrainian F-16 pilot was killed in the action."

That's a shame.
I hope the plane is okay!
