Zelenskyy: “I told Trump: If you enable Starlink access inside Russia, we can quickly destroy their ballistic missile launchers. Putin would come to negotiating table, and I wouldn’t need to destroy a single energy facility. But instead, they shut down Starlink.” As they say, "from RU, with love"

Zelensky asked Trump to open Starlink in Russia so Ukraine can attack their ballistic launchers. Trump made a very serious mistake.

Zelenskyy says Starlink restrictions REMAIN in Ukraine, crippling interceptor drones and military operations. He says Ukraine has evidence the restrictions are DELIBERATE after testing Starlink systems in the EU, where they worked perfectly at speeds that cause connections to fail inside Ukraine.

It’s even worse and there’s now more backstory reporting from FT. Reportedly, Washington lied to Ukraine about technical difficulties. Ukraine quickly tested the scope of the speed restrictions. Results indicated the limitations were only in Ukraine. Thus, it was a planned operation.

So “Washington” (Trump officials) lied to Ukrainians about SpaceX experiencing “technical difficulties”. Ukraine then conducted its own “trust but verify” test. They learned the speed restrictions only applied in Ukraine. Thus, they determined it was a “planned operation”.
