Air Force denied information about F-16s staying in Ukraine
The speaker of the Air Force, Yuriy Ignat, has denied the news spread by the US publication Newsweek about the presence of F-16 fighter jets in Ukraine.
Yuriy Ignat wrote about it on Facebook.
According to him, this information became a reason for the hype of various telegram channels.
The US edition of Newsweek published a "nothing" piece with unbelievable assumptions about the presence of F-16s in Ukraine and even their probable involvement in the destruction of six Russian planes. This is a big chance for the hype of our telegram channels and various media that don't care about their own reputation," Ignat wrote.
The speaker called this information "sucked out of a finger" and was outraged. Because during yesterday Ignat was repeatedly included in the airwaves of different TV channels to refute Russian statements on the destruction of the F-16, and also told foreign media about the destruction of the Russian ship by the Ukrainian military.
