Delta, Spirit planes collide at Ohio airport

CLEVELAND (WJW) — An airplane collided with another airplane while passengers were boarding at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport , according to the Federal Aviation Administration .

It happened at about 7 p.m. on Sunday, May 12, according to a statement from the FAA. No injuries were reported.

Delta Airlines Flight No. 2577 was taxiing when its wingtip struck Spirit Airlines Flight No. 655, which was parked at the gate and boarding passengers.

“Our guests deplaned normally through the jet bridge and no injuries to Spirit guests or team members were reported,” reads a Monday statement from a Spirit spokesperson. “Safety is our top priority, and the aircraft was removed from service to be thoroughly inspected by our maintenance team.”

Spirit was giving its passengers alternative travel arrangements “as quickly as possible,” reads the statement.

The Delta plane was a Boeing 739 with 180 passengers headed for Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Its passengers were delayed about four hours while waiting for another aircraft on Sunday night.

Delta is also planning to investigate. Delta issued the following statement:

“Delta teams worked to reaccommodate customers to their final destination to Atlanta after the wingtip from Delta flight DL2577 made contact with a parked aircraft at CLE. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.”

The collision happened near Gate B2, according to an airport spokesperson. There was no impact to air traffic.

At Victory Day Parade, Putin Seeks to Keep Ukraine in the Distance

A fighter fly-past returned to Russia’s World War II commemorations, where President Vladimir V. Putin permitted himself a single reference to his “special military operation.”

• Share full article

By Valerie Hopkins and Anatoly Kurmanaev

Photographs by Nanna Heitmann

Valerie Hopkins and Nanna Heitmann reported from Moscow and Anatoly Kurmanaev from Berlin.

The ballistic missiles rolled through Red Square, the fighter jets zipped overhead and rows of foreign dignitaries impassively looked on. Russia’s annual commemoration of the end of World War II presented a traditional ceremony on Thursday cherished by millions of Russians, a reflection of President Vladimir V. Putin’s broader attempts to project normalcy while resigning the population to a prolonged, distant war.

At last year’s Victory Day celebration, as Russia struggled on the battlefield, Mr. Putin said the country was engaged in a “real war” for survival, and accused Western elites of seeking the “disintegration and annihilation of Russia.” On Thursday, he merely referred to the war in Ukraine once, using his initial euphemism for the invasion, “special military operation.”

And on Russia’s most important secular holiday, he dedicated more time to the sacrifices of Soviet citizens in World War II than to the bashing of modern adversaries.

Still, he did not ignore those adversaries entirely, reviving familiar criticisms and grievances about what he says are attempts to undermine Russia and accusing the West of “hypocrisy and lies.”

“Revanchism, abuse of history, attempts to excuse modern heirs of the Nazis — these are all parts of the policies used by the Western elites to spark more and more new regional conflicts,” Mr. Putin said in an eight-minute address.

The ceremony itself was slightly more expansive than last year’s bare-bones procedure, a sign of a nation that has recovered from the initial shock of the war and currently holds the advantage on the battlefield in Ukraine.

About 9,000 servicemen marched through the Red Square as snow fell, compared with about 8,000 in 2023. There were a few dozen more units of military hardware on display and a few more foreign dignitaries present.

The city center, usually crowded with revelers celebrating the holiday, was mostly blocked off by the security services. The temperature in Moscow was the coldest recorded on this date since 1945, according to the national meteorological service.

Last year, Mr. Putin hosted only the presidents of former Soviet republics, who along with Russia fought against Nazi Germany in World War II. This year, the foreign heads of state included the presidents of Cuba, Laos and Guinea-Bissau, underlining Russia’s persistent clout among developing countries despite Western attempts to isolate Mr. Putin diplomatically.

Mr. Putin’s closest foreign ally, President Aleksandr Lukashenko of Belarus, also attended, bringing his dog, a spitz called Umka, with him to the front row of the parade stand.

Most symbolically, this year’s parade once again featured a flyover by fighter jets, which left a trail in the colors of the Russian flag over central Moscow. This was canceled last year amid escalating attacks on the Russian capital by Ukrainian drones.

These attacks have since subsided, as Russia has strengthened its air defenses and improved its own drone capabilities. As the parade was coming to an end, drones hit an oil refinery in the Ural Mountains, 750 miles east of Moscow. The local governor claimed that it continued to work normally .

More broadly, over the past year, Russia has stabilized its economy, expanded its military production and organized a steady flow of new recruits, allowing it to retake the initiative on the battlefield after a disastrous first year of full-scale war in Ukraine.

Thursday’s parade was still a far cry from the Victory Day pomp before the invasion, when more than 10,000 Russian soldiers traditionally marched in tightly choreographed columns, and Russia’s latest tanks, airplanes and helicopters streamed across Red Square.

But this year’s parade still appeared to signal that the worst of the upheaval of Russia’s war in Ukraine was over, that the conflict had settled into a brutal, yet predictable pattern.

Mr. Putin, who was sworn in for his fifth term as president on Tuesday, has largely succeeded in outsourcing the fighting to volunteers lured to the front by outsized military salaries and by legal benefits like criminal pardons and expedited Russian passports. This has allowed most Russians to tune out the war and reap the benefits of an economy boosted by military spending.

In his address, Mr. Putin checked off his usual historical grievances about Western attempts to downplay the Soviet Union's decisive role in World War II and the rise of neo-Nazism in the West today.

At one point, he falsely equated Nazi Germany with the whole of Europe, in an apparent attempt to draw parallels with his current standoff with the European Union.

And he appeared to allude to Russia’s nuclear capabilities against the West, echoing the Kremlin’s order earlier this week for its forces to conduct drills on the potential use of tactical nuclear weapons.

“Russia will do everything to avoid a global conflict,” Mr. Putin said. “At the same time, we will not allow anyone to threaten us. Our strategic forces are always in combat readiness.”

Following tradition, nuclear-capable missile systems were driven across Red Square as part of the show of military equipment.

The parade draws a self-selecting audience every year. This year, spectators gushed with patriotism and support for the Russian Army, the president, the war and the memory of fallen ancestors.

“I always cry at the parade and I cried this time, too,” said Alyona Britkova, 44, a public relations manager from Moscow. “I cry out of pride for my country, for my army. And for the memory of my grandfather,” who she said was part of the Soviet Army that fought all the way to Berlin.

Ms. Britkova said she saw the invasion of Ukraine as a continuation of the same war, a false narrative that Mr. Putin has promoted to justify the violence.

Many of the attendees struck a tone of defiance that has characterized the recent period of war, in which Russia seems to have the upper hand due in part to the slow delivery of Western military aid to Ukraine.

As Russia has grown more combative against the West, so too has the historical memory of World War II changed, with the contribution by the allies United States and Britain minimized.

“This was a victory for our people,” said Vladimir Mashkov, a prominent actor who has strongly supported the invasion. He called Victory Day celebrations “the most important day in our lives, and in our country.”

He called it “a good thing” that the United States had joined World War II on Russia’s side, then added: “But unfortunately, you have now forgotten about that. After all, the winner is the great Soviet people.”

Mr. Putin’s attempts to use the symbolism of World War II to justify his own aggression contrasted sharply with Victory Day commemorations in Ukraine, which suffered millions of casualties during the Nazi invasion.

Last year, Ukraine officially moved the date of its World War II commemoration a day earlier, to May 8. The move was meant to distance the country from Russia in the midst of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and tie it closer to Europe, where most countries mark the end of the war on May 8, partly because of the time difference.

On Wednesday, Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, also used the memory of World War II to further his own narrative of the current war in Ukraine, portraying the invading Russian Army as modern-day Nazis.

“When entire villages are burned down, when there are mass executions, when people are put against a wall blindfolded to be killed — in any corner of the world, that’s known by the same word — Nazism,” he said.

Oleg Matsnev contributed reporting from Berlin and Marc Santora from Kyiv, Ukraine.

Ukraine war latest: Situation in Kharkiv 'dire' - after world took 'eye off the ball' on Ukraine

The UN says it is "deeply concerned" about the situation in northeastern Ukraine, as Russia claims advances in the region. Defence secretary Grant Shapps has criticised the world for delays in getting support to Kyiv. Submit your question on the war for our experts to answer below.

Thanks for following along - we'll be back soon.

Scroll down to catch up on the latest developments in the conflict today.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy will travel to Spain on Friday for a meeting with King Felipe in Madrid, according to a royal palace statement.

Ukraine's defence minister says it is "extremely difficult" for troops to hold ground in Ukraine as they remain outgunned by Russian forces.

Rustem Umerov made a renewed plea for more shells and military supplies as Russia intensifies its offensive in the country's northeast.

"We need more artillery shells as Russia is still many times ahead," he told the Copenhagen Democracy Summit 2024 in an online address.

"Under such conditions it's extremely difficult to hold the ground." 

Russia has put its submarine-launched Bulava intercontinental ballistic missile into service, the TASS state news agency reports.

Russia's state media quoted the missile's chief designer Yuri Solomonov as saying its adoption was announced in a decree on 7 May, the same day that Vladimir Putin began a new six-year term in the Kremlin.

The Bulava was developed under a programme that started in the 1990s, and is designed to be deployed on Russia's Borei-class submarines.

Last November, the defence ministry said one of those submarines had successfully test-launched the Bulava, firing it from an underwater position in the White Sea off northern Russia.

TASS said Russia's Northern and Pacific fleets now include seven Borei submarines and each carries 16 Bulavas.

For context : Vladimir Putin has warned the West since the start of the war in Ukraine that direct intervention by NATO troops there could trigger a nuclear conflict. 

In March he said he did not believe the US was "rushing" towards this, but that Russia's nuclear forces were technically ready.

The world taking its "eye off the ball" led to the position we see in Kharkiv today, defence secretary Grant Shapps has said. 

Speaking at the Sea Power Conference today, the minister reiterated the UK's complete support for Ukraine, saying Russia winning would be "unimaginable and unacceptable".

He said: "I've heard repeatedly, including said to me by [Ukraine's] President Zelenskyy, which is that without Britain, they wonder whether they would still have been in this war at all."

He listed the UK's commitments to Ukraine, and criticised the world for having taken its "eye off the ball" recently.

"The amount of time it's taken to get the rest of the funding through has directly led to the position we see in Kharkiv today," he said.

He added that he did not think the situation was "fatal", however, and said it was "an important lesson to the world not to lose attention about Ukraine".

Ukraine must develop the "strongest possible democracy", Antony Blinken has told officials during a working lunch in a pizzeria in Kyiv.

The US secretary of state said it was "imperative" that fighting corruption in the country continues along with fighting Russian aggression. 

He also said it was important Ukraine developed "the strongest possible democracy" that reflects its citizens and attracts investment.

Mr Blinken's surprise visit follows the approval of a long-delayed foreign assistance package for Ukraine by Congress.

The package sets aside $61bn (£48.1bn) in aid for Ukraine, much of which will go toward replenishing badly depleted artillery and air defence systems.

Russian troops have captured the town of Buhruvatka in Ukraine's Kharkiv region, the defence ministry reports, according to Reuters.

The claim comes hours after Russia's TASS  news agency reported the western and northern parts of Vovchansk in Ukraine's Kharkhiv region had fallen (see post at 9.21am).

Sky News cannot independently verify these battlefield claims.

Russia's supreme court has rejected an appeal by Kremlin critic Vladimir Kara-Murza against his 25-year jail sentence, according to Reuters. 

The prominent Russian opposition figure, who has both Russian and British passports, was arrested near his Moscow home in April 2022 and convicted of treason by a court in April 2023.

He has repeatedly condemned Russia's war in Ukraine, criticised Vladimir Putin, and lobbied for Western sanctions against Moscow.

In his appeal, Mr Kara-Murza had argued that he had committed no crime and was convicted solely for exercising his right to free speech by expressing public opposition to Mr Putin and the war.

"This whole case is based on the denial of the very concepts of law, justice, and legality," he said in a written submission to the court.

"But it is also based on a crude, cynical forgery - an attempt to equate criticism of the authorities with harm to the country; to present opposition activity as 'treason'. But there is nothing new in this, either; it is what every dictatorship does."

Evacuations are under way in the town of Vovchansk, in the northeast Kharkiv region.

Local officials fear that Vovchansk's fate may mirror that of Bakhmut and Avdiivka, Ukrainian cities where fierce fighting forced Ukrainian withdrawals.

The Kremlin's forces are aiming to exploit Ukrainian weaknesses before a big batch of new military aid for Kyiv from the US and European partners arrives on the battlefield, according to analysts.

Six children have been rescued from the Russian-occupied Kherson region, the area's governor Oleksandr Prokudin has said. 

Mr Prokudin said on Telegram the children - one girl and five boys - were "rescued from the camps of the Russian occupiers".

The Save Ukraine organisation worked on the rescue mission, he said.

"It was an extremely difficult rescue mission with delays at roadblocks and intimidation," the governor said.

"Fortunately, all the children are safe now. Doctors and psychologists work with them."

The children were aged between five and 12.
