Vapor cone forming around an F-18 near the speed of sound.

Trump has been fulminating about Russian air attacks on Ukrainian civilians, but he is not doing anything about it. The Ukrainians have taken matters into their own hands. Through their actions, the Ukrainians are signaling they refuse to be defeated. wapo.st/3Zag72z
