Zelensky told Piers Morgan that Ukraine feels betrayed and fears it is losing the US as a strong partner. “We are not selling our country. This is not business for us. This is our life, our country, our home, our children,” he said, adding that Ukraine cannot afford to be weak. #Ukraine

The EU is working on alternatives to Starlink for Ukraine. From early 2027, the European Commission plans to integrate commercial satellite capacity into GOVSATCOM, including for Ukrainian needs. The EU’s own IRIS² satellite constellation is scheduled to become fully operational in 2029. #Ukraine

BREAKING: Former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov says Starlink operation at speeds of up to 160 km/h is being restored. “Attack drones and interceptor drones should fly again,” he said, adding that the next goal is removing Starshield’s speed limit entirely. #Ukraine

Zelensky speaking the truth. The US is now a Russian ally, and the Starlink decision is a massive benefit for the Russian military (and it has nothing to do with Ukraine attacking Russian refineries). The US is literally riding to Putin’s rescue.

Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Fedorov reports that Starlink has been restored to the previous setting so that it can be used for speed up to 160 kph (100 mph). In the last 24h the speed was throttled to 70 kph - 100 kph. Apparently, this “interference” has been corrected.

This is mind-blowing, I just did the math: every 24 hours, the United States consumes enough diesel and other distillate fuels to fill a gigantic pool 2 meters deep and roughly 565 meters long and wide. That's the equivalent of about 45 football fields.

Elon Musk is basically pointing at Trump. He is obviously trying to protect Starlink from the economic fallout this incident created. With several European nations starting to question services by Starlink and India actively pushing back, this has become a serious problem for Musk and SpaceX.

1992 coke plant closed in Newfoundland no notice & Newfoundland has been Pepsi ever since. To this day most places offer Pepsi not Coke. You want to know if Canadians hold a grudge? Well I know us Newfies do! Good luck
