Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Mariana Bezuglaya called the death of the pilot of the F-16 fighter, Lieutenant Colonel Maxim Ustimenko, a murder by the Ukrainian authorities.
"Ukraine has lost an F-16 pilot and another aircraft. If you do not develop drone air defense, block purchases and at the same time send valuable live pilots to shoot down the Shaheds, then this is the killing of pilots and the destruction of aircraft," Bezuglaya wrote on the social network.
Earlier, the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, instructed to find out the circumstances of the crash of the F-16 on Ukraine after the Russian attack. On Sunday, June 29, representatives of the AFU Air Force said that an F-16 fighter crashed during a Russian air attack.

As Mariana Bezuglaya notes, "and then you can be bored, of course" — "we won't forget, we won't forgive, we'll give the medal to mom."
