The Ukrainian military claims to have shot down a Russian strategic bomber. The aircraft costs approximately $100 million. In fact, the Soviet-era aircraft is a crucial element in Russia's long-range air assault against Ukraine.

Valerii Zaluzhnyi, former commander-in-chief and current ambassador to the UK revealed the US-Ukrainian military headquarters in Germany, calling it a "secret weapon" for planning military operations during the war with Russia.
Zaluzhnyi said the headquarters is located in &nbsp;Wiesbaden, Germany, adding that it has become a secret weapon for our partners.&nbsp;
"This headquarters has truly become a secret weapon for our partners and me in planning operations and formulating the requirements for their implementation," Zaluzhnyi said in a post on Facebook on April 8.&nbsp;

He further said that in the beginning, the coordination centre took shape in April 2002 at the US European Command in Stuttgart, Germany, before moving to Wiesbaden.&nbsp;
Zaluzhnyi highlighted that the headquarters allowed Ukrainian and NATO planners to assess operational needs in real-time and shape logistics accordingly.&nbsp;
Despite backing Russia in several terms, the US-Ukrainian joint operational headquarters came in picture to asses the need for weapons and equipment for Ukraine.&nbsp;
"Over time, we realized that we needed a joint operational headquarters with our partners to assess the needs for weapons and equipment based on the planning of operations," he wrote.

The Russia-Ukraine war turns into a deadly drone war as Ukraine claims Russian forces staged massive drone attacks on the Ukrainian cities of Dnipro, Kharkiv, and Kramatorsk late on April 8. The Ukrainian Air Force said that Russia launched 55 drones during its overnight attack. The air force shot down 32 drones, and another eight did not reach their targets, likely due to electronic warfare countermeasures.

We are currently verifying all the facts&mdash;intelligence, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the relevant units of the Armed Forces are working on it," he said.

The US is reportedly pressuring Kyiv to accept a major mineral deal that would grant American firms access to 50% of Ukraine’s rare earth reserves.

The Ukrainian delegation will include representatives from the Ministries of Economy, Foreign Affairs, Justice and Finance.&nbsp;

World: Ukraine's task now is to assemble a technical team for negotiations, define its red lines and send a delegation to US for technical talks as early as next week.

Ukraine will send a team to the US next week to begin further negotiations on a new draft of the rare earth minerals deal that would give the US access to Ukraine's mineral resources, Economy Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko said, according to a report. “The new draft agreement from the U.S. shows that the intention to create a fund or jointly invest remains,” Svyrydenko told the Associated Press, during a trip to northern Ukraine. The Ukrainian delegation will include representatives from the Ministries of Economy, Foreign Affairs, Justice and Finance. Svyrydenko said, "What we have now is a document that reflects the position of the U.S. Treasury legal team. This is not a final version, it’s not a joint position.” Also read: 'In exchange for military support': US proposes new minerals deal for Ukraine, Zelensky says 'This is important' She added that Ukraine's task now is to assemble a technical team for negotiations, define its red lines and send a delegation to the US for technical talks as early as next week. “It’s clear that the full parameters of this agreement can’t be discussed online,” Svyrydenko said. “We need to sit down with the teams and continue the conversation in person.” The US and Ukraine were supposed to sign the minerals deal in February, however the meeting between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky did not turn out well, which postponed the signing of the deal.
