Ukraine's Air Force shot down a Russian aircraft, without identifying the specific type, according to its Telegram update on July 8.
"Good news from the Air Force! Today we took out another Russian air terrorist!" the Air Force said.
On July 4, Ukraine's Defense Intelligence (HUR) reported that a Russian MiG-29 fighter jet was destroyed at the Belbek airfield in annexed Crimea during a strike on June 26.
As of July 8, Russia has lost 436 warplanes and 353 helicopters since the start of its war against Ukraine, according to Ukraine's General Staff.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
