Ukraine pilot killed, F-16 fighter jet lost, Ukrainian military says
KYIV (Reuters) -A Ukrainian pilot was killed and his F-16 fighter jet lost while repelling a large-scale Russian nighttime missile and drone attack, the Ukrainian military said on Sunday.
It was the third such loss of an F-16 of the war, the military said.
"The pilot used all of his onboard weapons and shot down seven air targets. While shooting down the last one, his aircraft was damaged and began to lose altitude," the Air Force said on the Telegram messaging app.
It said the pilot did everything he could and flew the jet away from a settlement but did not have time to eject.
The military said Russia had launched 477 drones and 60 missiles of various types to Ukraine overnight and Ukrainian forces destroyed 211 drones and 38 missiles.
It said air strikes were recorded in six locations.

EU tech rules not included in U.S. trade talks, EU Commission says
By Foo Yun Chee and Bart H. Meijer BRUSSELS (Reuters) -The European Union on Monday pushed back against U.S. criticism of its landmark tech rules that many feared could be included in ongoing trade negotiations with the United States and subsequently watered down. Adopted recently, the Digital Markets Act (DMA) seeks to rein in the power of Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, China's ByteDance and The Digital Services Act (DSA) requires big online platforms to do more to tackle illegal and harmful content. Both legislations have come under fire from the U.S. administration which says it unfairly targets U.S. tech companies. "The legislations will not be changed. The DMA and the DSA are not on the table in the trade negotiations with the U.S.," spokesperson Thomas Regnier told a daily news conference. He said the EU would not brook any interference from foreign governments on how it enforces its landmark rules which come with hefty fines for violations. "We are not going to adjust the implementation of our legislation based on the actions of third countries. If we started to do that, then we would have to do it with numerous third countries," Regnier said. The EU handed out its first fines to Apple and Meta earlier this year, with both risking further daily fines if regulators find that they have yet to comply with the rules in the coming months.

Kremlin, asked about US sanctions bill, suggests it would impact Ukraine peace efforts if implemented
MOSCOW (Reuters) -The Kremlin said on Monday that it had taken note of comments made by U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham who is sponsoring a tough new sanctions bill on Russia and that its backers should consider its impact on efforts to reach a peace deal on Ukraine. Graham said in an interview with ABC News on Sunday that President Donald Trump had told him that the sanctions bill - which would impose 500% tariffs on countries like China and India that buy Russian oil - should be brought forward for a vote. Graham called Trump's decision "a big breakthrough" which he said was part of efforts to bring Russian President Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table on Ukraine and give Trump "a tool" to bring that about. He stressed however that Trump had a waiver and could decide whether or not to sign it into law if and when it passes Congress. Asked about Graham's comments, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday that Russia was aware of the U.S. senator's stance and had taken note of his statement. "The senator's views are well known to us, they are well known to the whole world. He belongs to a group of inveterate Russophobes. If it were up to him, these sanctions would have been imposed long ago," said Peskov. "Would that have helped the (Ukraine) settlement (process)? That is a question that those who initiate such events should ask themselves."

Brad Pitt May Have to Fight Ex-Wife Angelina Jolie in Court Soon — Report
and his ex-wife, , may have finalized their divorce, but their legal battle over their French winery is far from over. US Weekly exclusively reported on court documents, revealing that the former couple is gearing up for a fierce courtroom standoff that remains imminent. In addition, Pitt and Jolie expect the trial over the winery that they bought when they were together to last for over two weeks. US Weekly recently revealed details from Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's showdown over their winery, yet another legal battle after their divorce was finalized late last year. The exclusive report mentioned that the Oscar-winning actor believes a jury trial concerning their feud over the French winery called Miraval is imminent. In addition, he expects the courtroom proceedings to last for 15 days, although there's no set trial date. Pitt noted the upcoming trial is 'complex,' owing to the involvement of multiple foreign parties. The case stemmed from his 2022 lawsuit accusing his ex-wife of illegally selling her shares in the winery they bought together in 2008. Pitt claimed they had plans of passing it down to their children and continuing to hold on to their respective stakes following their split in 2016. However, in 2021, Jolie cited a lack of considerate behavior and 'no interest in sharing the business,' among other things, as wanting an exit. They initially even worked out a deal by which he would buy her stake in the estate, but Pitt claimed she backed out after he proposed a non-disparagement agreement. The 50-year-old alleged that he intended to cover up 'abuse' using the NDA. In his lawsuit, Brad Pitt argued that his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, sold her stake in the winery to the Stoli Group, owned and controlled by Yuri Shefler, a Russian billionaire. He alleged that the deal occurred without his approval, claiming it was against what they had agreed to. Pitt even mentioned an attempt at a hostile takeover of the French winery. Meanwhile, Jolie denied Pitt's allegations and any wrongdoing. She further argued that they didn't have any agreement in place that required his approval in order to sell her stake in the estate.
