Ukrainian military officials allege that SpaceX interrupted military-grade Starlink terminals, which prevented Kyiv from using them to guide drone strikes.
Serhiy Beskrestnov, adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, wrote on Telegram that the country's defense forces didn't receive a warning from SpaceX concerning the interruption, Reuters reported.
Poland pays for Ukrainian Starlink subscriptions on Kyiv's behalf, and Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski asked SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on X about the interruption.
"Hey, @elonmusk, big man, are you playing politics with your products again? As your European customers, we are watching you," Sikorski wrote.
The U.S. has reportedly threatened to cut off intelligence for early warning of missile strikes in an effort to get Kyiv to suspend attacks on Russian oil refineries, sources have told Reuters.

Or something...
Trump punishing Zelenskyy for criticizing the diesel deal
assuming this is even true:
1. was this a paid service or gratis?
2. did Zelensky do something to piss off Trump/Musk [like somehow dis the GOP and promote the Dems]?
If the UK wants to fight a war with Russia, they should just jolly well get on with it themselves instead of playing around with the Democrats biowarfare labs and money laundering operations.
Victoria Nuland and Antony Blinken are asking for a friend.
Maybe he should launch his own satellites if he wants to use them for drone control.
“As your European customers, we are watching you,”
Time for the Ukraine Coalition of the Willing to provide the service.
That’s just what we need, Zelensky going all over the world begging for money to pay for his own satellites.
Ukrainian starlink is paid for by Europe(led significantly by Poland).
"Hey, @elonmusk, big man, are you playing politics with your products again? As your European customers, we are watching you," Sikorski wrote.

The “Liddle” Ukrainian dictator is now experiencing the FO part of the equation.
He thought he could just keep playing games.
The GAME is over.
Zelensky and the Iranian regime are the same.
Both dictators who are still playing by the old rules.
But the rules have completely changed.
Zelensky still thinks he has “leverage.”
He doesn’t know what “leverage” really is.
He thought he could keep bombing Russian refineries after Trump told him to stop and he could gain leverage in the “negotiations.”
But he’s completely misunderstanding what’s actually happening.
There are no more “negotiations.”
Trump gave Zelensky that opportunity over a year ago and he refused.
It’s no longer a “peace negotiation.”
Now it’s a “surrender negotiation.”
People will never learn.
When Trump offers you a deal and a way out of your mess, you better take that first deal because the next ones will only be worse.
We now live in the Age of Consequences.
Zelensky defied Trump’s “energy ceasefire” and now he’ll suffer the consequences.
Elon just massively limited Ukraine’s Starlink access.
“Ukrainian military’s access to Starlink satellite internet suddenly restricted”
“Outage of terminals managed by Elon Musk’s SpaceX comes as Russia launches ballistic missiles at Ukraine without any advance warning from US.”
Now, Zelensky can no longer target Russian refineries with his drones and he’s also defenseless against Russian attacks because we aren’t sharing intelligence.
“Limiting Starlink’s access speeds would have a significant effect on Ukraine’s air defences because it is being used, according to Beskrestnov, in “the most current effective solution”: interceptors that target the jet-powered Shahed drones now deployed in large numbers to bomb Ukraine.”
“With their actions our partners are depriving us of one of the few chances we have to defend ourselves,” he added in a follow-up post. Shahed interception rates had already dropped from more than 90% to about 60% when Russia upgraded their engines to jet power in the early summer.”

Now Zelensky will have to surrender even more territory.
But he doesn’t care.
He doesn’t care how many Ukrainians die or how bad his country is destroyed because he knows that when the war ends, he will face justice.
Trump will keep upping the ante now and isolating Zelensky.
Focus on his corruption incoming.

Starlink was connecting through the data center that Ukrane just blew up.
They did it to themselves.
The Euroweenies say they’re going to launch their own Starlink-lite system.
Which will have fewer satellites, operate at slower frequencies, and be online in 5-6 years.
What deal was Z supposed to take? Spell out this AMAZING deal Ukraine was supposed to take. Putin from the beginning and till now, is always making maximum demands from Ukraine, demands that are in effect a surrender.
Putin Demands:
Russia has demanded no NATO for Ukraine and no other alliances.
Russia demands Ukraine cede the entirety of the four provinces Moscow claims as part of Russia, including areas still held by Ukraine.
Russia demands Ukraine demilitarize: limit army to 60,000 limits on number of tanks, artillery, planes and no missiles.
Russia demands Ukraine establish the Russian language as a co-official language.
Russia demands Ukraine to denazify, basically stop being Ukrainian.
Russia demands Ukraine reestablish the Moscow led Orthodox Church in Ukraine. The same one that declared a Holy War against Ukraine.
Russia demands a change in the leadership of Ukraine. I guess demanding a puppet government to be installed.
Russia demands changes to Ukrainian's constitution.
Russia demands Western peacekeeping troops are never allowed into Ukraine.
And Russia keeps adding to this list saying the "root causes" of this conflict have to be addressed.
Zelensky personally thanks King for his ‘unwavering support’ for Ukraine
Who needs the Harkles.
Meanwhile, the UK has continued to buy Russian energy all along.
Maybe someone should ask Zelensky, KCIII, and/or Burnham about that...
Hush, foreigner. Don’t whine at me; whine at Joe Lange. Those are his words and I accredited them appropriately.
I fully agree with him.
Now, stop your crying. I get so tired of hearing Democrats crying.
US has been funding labs (veterinary and civilian) in Ukraine since 2005. During the Bush presidency and during Trump's first term. So Bush and Trump were funding "biowarfare labs" in Ukraine? Or the "biowarfare labs" magically existed during Democrat presidencies but not in the intervening Republican years? Moronic
F**k Zelenskyyyy. Trump told you to stop attacking refineries and you gave him the finger. Now you FAFO.
Thanks for listing the GREAT deal Ukraine was supposed to sign. Not
Putin demanded Ukraine surrender before the invasion, at the start and even now, but Boris-Bots keep repeating Ukraine should have "taken the deal" without EVER spelling it out. Ridiculous
