Zelenskyy dismisses Ukraine air force commander after F-16 crash

CGTN

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday dismissed the country's air force chief, a day after Kyiv said a U.S.-made F-16 fighter jet had crashed, killing the pilot.

In a video message Zelenskyy said he had "decided to replace the commander of the air force" to "strengthen" Ukraine's military leadership, after publishing a presidential decree to remove Mykola Oleshchuk from the post.
