On December 6, the traitor Ilya Kiva, who was an MP from the pro-Russian OP-FL party (Opposition Platform — For Life — Ed.), was found dead in the village of Suponevo near Moscow. Sources reported that the odious collaborator was killed with small arms by SSU special forces.

Kiva was found dead

Former Ukrainian MP from "OP-FL" Ilya Kiva was found dead. His body was discovered in the Moscow region.

The Russian propagandistic media reported this on December 6. There are currently no other details.

The body of ex-deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Ilya Kiva was discovered in the suburbs of Moscow, according to sources, the report says.

No photos or other evidence have been released at this time. There are also no official reports regarding the death of Kiva.

At the same time, the Telegram channel "112" also reported the death of the scandalous fugitive and former MP. It is noted that Kiva's body was found in a cottage village near Moscow in Odintsovo. Investigators are allegedly working on the spot and are investigating all the circumstances.

The Russian propaganda channel RIA also published information about the death of a fugitive ex-deputy, referring to emergency services. They specified that the body was found in the village of Suponevo.

The body, probably of a former Verkhovna Rada MP of the Kyva, was found in the village of Suponevo, Odintsovo district near Moscow, emergency services informed RIA "Novosti", the report said.

The publication "Ukrainian Pravda" refers to sources in law enforcement agencies and reports that Ilya Kiva was eliminated by special forces of the SSU with small arms.

So far, the SSU has not commented on this event.

What is known about Kiva

Ilya Kiva is a pro-Russian former member of the Ukrainian parliament. He repeatedly made scandalous statements, including calling Ukrainians "beggars" and blaming the United States for all its troubles.

In March 2022, the odious MP was declared an internationally wanted man.

This year, the court found Ilya Kiva guilty of treason and other crimes. He received 14 years of imprisonment in absentia with confiscation of property.

Since the former official is hiding in the territory of Russia, he left there even before the full-scale invasion of the Russians — it is still impossible to apply the sentence.

On March 26, the Air Force released the first interview with a Ukrainian F-16 fighter pilot, who talks about combat missions, tactics of use, and a powerful team that has successfully mastered Western technology and new approaches to its application.

Points of attention

  • Get a unique perspective from a Ukrainian F-16 fighter pilot on combat missions and tactics in this exclusive interview.
  • Learn about the success rate of Ukrainian forces with Western technology, hitting targets with over 80% accuracy, including various types of missiles.
  • Explore how Ukrainian intelligence forces adapt quickly to receive up-to-date data, ensuring effective strikes at tactical depth.

Almost every missile hits its target — Ukrainian F-16 pilot

The pilot, whose identity is not being disclosed at this time, says that almost every day, F-16 fighter pilots perform more than one or two flights to defeat the enemy behind the line of combat contact, on the territory of the Russian Federation, on the territory temporarily occupied by the Russians. Falcon pilots also perform flights to cover other combat brothers (MiG-29, Su-27, Su-24, Su-25).

The pilot notes that the effectiveness of using Western equipment by Ukrainian soldiers, both ground and air, is very high.

Almost every missile hits its target… More than 80% of the missiles we launch hit their target. They destroy both Shaheds and sea-based, air-based and land-based cruise missiles. We know the targets in advance, our intelligence works quite well, even despite the media spreading the rumor that we don’t receive intelligence data…

We can say that our intelligence forces adapt very quickly, we receive up-to-date data... Currently, we can only strike at tactical depth, but the effectiveness of these strikes is very high: if we want, our bomb will fly into someone's window.

Ukraine may purchase significant volumes of American gas this year through terminals in Germany, Greece, Lithuania, and Poland.

Points of attention

  • Ukraine plans to import at least 4 billion cubic meters of gas from the United States between April and October this year.
  • Half of all imports through Europe will be liquefied natural gas from the United States, with large underground storage facilities set up for American LNG.
  • The cost of imports from the US is estimated to be at least $1 billion, as Ukraine readies for a stable heating season amidst geopolitical tensions with Russia.

Ukraine is betting on gas from the US

It is noted that this is necessary to cover needs after Russian attacks on energy infrastructure.

The head of the "GTS Operator of Ukraine" Dmytro Lippa reported that the country plans to import at least 4 billion cubic meters of gas between April and October.

Reuters estimates the cost of imports will be at least $1 billion. Ukraine has large underground storage facilities that could be used to store American liquefied gas, and President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that Kyiv and the White House have discussed the possibility.

Up to half of the total imports through Europe will not be pipeline gas, but liquefied natural gas, which will be supplied to European terminals, and of this, according to Lippa, as much as possible can come from the United States of America.

For a stable heating season, the country must accumulate at least 13 billion cubic meters of gas by mid-October.

On March 10, at the Ukrainian Energy Exchange (UEB), the price of Ukrnafta's liquefied gas increased to UAH 57,500-57,600/t, compared to UAH 55,100-57,340/t at the previous auction.

Ukraine sees prospects in cooperation with the United States, in particular in the supply of liquefied natural gas.
