Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy fired the commander of the country’s air force after an F-16 warplane that Ukraine received from its Western partners crashed during a Russian bombardment. The pilot was killed in the incident, the Ukrainian army said. The crash was the first reported loss of an F-16 in Ukraine, where the warplanes arrived at the end of last month.
