The Kremlin announced on Thursday that Russian forces will shoot down U.S.-built F-16 fighter jets sent to Ukraine. They claim the F-16s will not significantly impact the war’s outcome.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov mentioned rewards have already been offered to Russian forces for shooting them down. He stated the planes would not be a “magic pill” for Kyiv’s forces.

“These planes will appear and gradually their number will decrease,” Peskov said. “They will be shot down and destroyed.”

He added that these deliveries will not significantly influence the dynamics of events at the front.

Russia remains firm on its stance against the deployment of F-16s in Ukraine.

Stephen Colbert condemns censorship and calls out Trump in powerful monologue dedicated to Jimmy Kimmel’s suspended show.

Stephen Colbert’s opening monologue is being hailed as one of the most powerful moments in modern late-night history. Standing on stage at the Ed Sullivan Theatre, Colbert dedicated his show to Jimmy Kimmel and his team after ABC suspended Kimmel’s programme under pressure from Washington.

Colbert called the move “blatant censorship” and directly accused President Trump of acting like an autocrat. “With an autocrat, you cannot give an inch,” he warned, making clear that the stakes reach far beyond late-night comedy.

Movers were spotted clearing out the studio of Jimmy Kimmel Live, fuelling speculation about the future of the late-night program. The show was abruptly suspended after comments Kimmel made about murdered conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

CNN is reporting that ABC may reinstate Kimmel on air, but only if he “lowers the temperature” of his commentary. That condition has sparked debate about free speech, corporate influence and the fine line between humour and controversy in late-night television.
