earlier this week that an MP claimed was the result of “friendly fire.”At the beginning of the week, Lieutenant Colonel Oleksiy Mes lost his life protecting Ukraine’s skies against a significant Russian aerial attack.
Mariana Bezuhla, a member of parliament from Ukraine, stated that a US Patriot missile struck the aircraft during friendly fire.
Mykola Oleschuk, the commander of the air force, retorted that her remarks were a “tool to discredit the top military leadership.”
However, the air force did not state unequivocally that a Patriot missile struck the F-16.
Lt. Gen. Oleshchuk has now been fired by Mr. Zelenskyy, and US experts are assisting with the crash investigation.
The directive was made available on the president’s website.
