Well, it would be very dumb for the Ukranian government to antagonize the man who can turn off Starlink, so the experts are probably right about that.
That leaves Russian operatives and pro-Russian Ukranians as well as Ukranians who want to get rid of Zelensky.
Plus the usual assortment of anarchists and nutbags and other chotic nerds who just like to poke things to see what will happen.
Don’t rule out our own CIA as participants. They are nervous and butthurt about DOGE. Many are unstable sex perverts and sociopaths.
Lots of players could be involved. A consortium of the wicked and the naive.
Fun times.
“with IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area”
There’s this neat little thing called a virtual private network.
You can route through another country to hide your IP address.
I guess the “actors” don’t know about it.
I was thinking the same. Lots of the usual suspects (and what you might call unusual ones lol).
It could have been Ukrainian hardliners trying to damage the peace talks taking place today.
Another reason Ukrainians (especially the nuttier hardliners) would do this is similar to the reason they wasted a bunch of drones on Russian apartment buildings, car parks, etc., at down this morning local time. To send a message that they have “cards” (although their cards are lousy twos). See? We can mess with your X/Twitter! Don’t you think about messing with our Starlink! Silly? Yes, but so was the drone attack on Moscow, etc. Added bonus: X had been all atwitter over the Kursk debacle yesterday.
But really, as you wrote, it could be any number of rabid dogs, nutballs and cyberhooligans.
If Ukraine was so interested in Peace why did they attack Moscow with 90 drones? Maybe to cover up being crushed in Kursk? Or to stop the process, or spark a wider war? many think Kiev was behind one of the Assassination tries on Trump. Ukraine is not our friend. Possible.
