On May 16, the Ukrainian Air Force reported losing contact with an F-16 fighter jet that was performing missions to repel an air attack by drones. An abnormal situation occurred on the plane, and the pilot ejected. According to open data, the Ukrainian Air Force has already lost three F-16 fighter jets. The General Staff of Ukraine reported the loss of the first F-16 in August 2024, without providing details of the incident. Then, Verkhovna Rada Deputy Maryana Bezuglaya claimed that it was mistakenly shot down by a Ukrainian Patriot missile. After this, the commander of the Ukrainian Air Force was removed from office. On April 12, 2025, the Ukrainian Air Force reported the loss of another F-16, in which the pilot died. On April 13, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that the F-16 was shot down by air defense.

Story has been making rounds that Ukrainians were outraged when Russia negotiators said that Ukrainian soldiers must leave the four new Russian regions as part of ceasefire, to which the Moscow delegation replied "Next time it will be five."

Now, our reporter in Istanbul got to ask the Russian side how it really went down:

"We didn't say five. We said eight."


Could be talking about Dnipropetrovsk, Sumy, and Kharkiv
