President Zelensky yesterday was shown F-16 fighters, which will be transferred to Ukraine.

Damn, I’ve been hearing about these F-16s (a 50-year-old plane, if anything) for two years now.

They keep coming and going (soon, almost!), and the bombs upon Ukraine keep flying and flying.

Top Russian military officials are being arrested. Why is it happening?

AP says the arrests raise "questions about whether Putin was reasserting control over the Defense Ministry amid the war in Ukraine, whether a turf battle had broken out between the military and the security services, or whether some other scenario was playing out behind the Kremlin’s walls."
