Czechia Considers Supplying Ukraine with Up to 16 L-39 Skyfox Jets for Air Defense

Czechia is considering supplying Ukraine with up to 16 Aero Vodochody L-39 Skyfox jets.

This follows Ukraine's earlier attempt to acquire L-159 ALCA light combat aircraft from the Czech Air Force to counter Russian drones, which was rejected due to the Czech armed forces' need for them.

U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have arrived in Moscow for a meeting with President Vladimir Putin.

The Abu Dhabi discussions resulted in an agreement for a large-scale prisoner exchange, though no broader breakthrough towards peace was reported. Witkoff and Kushner were met at Moscow's Vnukovo airport by Kirill Dmitriev, a senior Russian official involved in talks with Washington. This marks Witkoff's tenth visit to Russia for talks with President Putin, reflecting the Trump administration's sustained diplomatic efforts since President Trump made ending the war a foreign policy priority in 2025.
