Girl, 14, killed by Russian attack on Kharkiv, officials say - as Zelenskyy sacks top air force commander

Ukraine’s top pilot, Oleksiy 'Moonfish' Mes, was tragically killed when his US-made F-16 fighter jet crashed during a Russian missile assault. Mes, a highly skilled and decorated pilot, had recently transitioned to flying the advanced F-16 after extensive training in the United States. He was at the forefront of Ukraine's efforts to modernise its air force and was leading a critical mission to intercept incoming Russian missiles when the crash occurred. His death marks a significant loss for Ukraine, both in terms of military capability and morale, as Mes was not only a symbol of Ukrainian resistance but also a key figure in the nation's defence strategy against Russian aggression. #OleksiyMes #UkraineF16Crash #F16CrashUkraine #UkrainePilotKilled #PilotKilledF16 #Moonfish #UkrainianHero #F16Crash #RussianMissileAttack #UkraineWar #PilotSacrifice #UkraineAirForce #MilitaryLoss #HeroicPilot #DefendUkraine #RussianAggression #WarInUkraine #FallenHero #UkrainianDefense ~PR.152~ED.102~HT.334~
