Starshield..

 


Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused U.S. President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk of intentionally "throttling" military satellite usage in Ukraine, escalating a severe diplomatic and military rift. Zelensky stated in an interview that he felt personally "betrayed" by the actions.

The dispute centers on a sudden loss of access to Starshield, the military-grade version of SpaceX's satellite communications network.  
 Ukrainian military forces reported sudden speed limits and connectivity drops on Tuesday and Wednesday. Access was restricted specifically for objects traveling over 100 mph, crippling the capabilities of Ukraine's drone fleets, airplanes, and helicopters.  

 The disruption directly coincided with intense pressure from the Trump administration urging Kyiv to halt its long-range drone strikes on Russian oil refineries. Trump has blamed these strikes for driving up U.S. fuel prices ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. 

Zelensky's Stance:    He argued it was unfair to expect Ukraine to adhere to an "energy ceasefire" while Russia systematically targets its civil power infrastructure. 

Comment:
When the Ukraine targeted Oil refineries, etc. It moved the local war to the rest of the world. The world poor countries and advanced xcountries will pay dearly for oil.
Just a thought.
