  No information on ballistic missile launches: The U.S. has once again failed to warn Ukraine about an attack on Kyiv — Radio Liberty. There are fatalities and injuries. A massive crater, caused by a missile strike in front of an office building in Kyiv’s Dniprovskyi

  Last night Russia hit energy facilities, infrastructure, a medical clinic, a school, a metro station, and ordinary residential buildings in Kyiv. Ukraine got no warning from the US about incoming missiles, because Trump is blocking the intel sharing with Ukraine. So once again, the air raid sirens could not get civilians into the bomb shelters in…

  I hope leaders of the world are paying attention. The USA has become un unreliable partner…as has Starlink become unreliable. #Sheshed

  Listen. Mira. If we are going to prosecute these people, their lack of accepting responsibility now and on the public record will help to establish their bad faith after discovery reveals they in fact knew exactly what was going on. Under current SCOTUS, the Trump admin will need to prove a national security reason for acting in bad faith. If the…

  🇺🇦 Zelenskyy delivers a blunt message to the United States: “Just give us Starlink back. If you refuse, Ukraine will survive. We will continue defending ourselves with or without it. But why would you restrict a country fighting for its survival? Why make it harder for us to

  President # Zelenskyy 💬 "regarding the exchange of intelligence and the operation of Starlink in # Ukraine . Unfortunately, we did not receive an early warning from our partners about the first wave of the russian ballistic missile attack last night. And we are still facing speed restrictions on the Starlink and Starshield services in various…

  Today's Starlink Word Games Up until a few days ago Ukraine used Starlink's high velocity Starshield service to defend their country. In the middle of the night, with no warning, during a Russian attack Starshield was cut off. People died. Starshield STILL has not been restored. Today they sent out Rubio to muddy the water. saying 'Ukraine DOES…

  Why do people keep spreading this? I'm a big supporter of Ukraine's actions to defend themselves, including their destruction of Yandex data centers, and I hope they can destroy actual bot farms. But unfortunately that didn't happen. the Yandex centers they destroyed were not bot farms and their destruction didn't have an effect on the Russia…

  Zelensky says the US government ordered the Starlink and Starshield speed restrictions, which SpaceX then implemented technically. He says the restrictions have not been lifted. Ukraine also went three days without US intelligence needed to provide warning of Russian ballistic missile launches. # Ukraine

  True, but there should be at least an additional trait on each country that they sub specialize in, beyond their normal duties. The issue with Estonia doing cybersecurity is that they are on the front line with natos biggest problem. If they were to fall quickly, who is taking up that slack? There needs to be some redundancy in Nato where you…

An educational facility was damaged by a ballistic missile strike, while Chernihivska metro station was damaged and two stations were temporarily closed. In Dnipro, private homes were damaged, with…

  Three days after Trump’s ceasefire announcement, Ukraine’s access to Starlink — the internet service provided by Elon Musk’s SpaceX — was abruptly restricted, with subsequent reporting suggesting that the order to limit Starlink services came directly from the White House.

  you could get global coverage with relatively few satellites even in LEO (Iridium uses 66) - the question then is whether the starlink alternatives can provide the desired performance. People love to parrot that starlink has thousands of satellites but can't explain why OneWeb or IRIS2's lower number would be a barrier for Ukraine's requirements…

  Nah it's not.. you can do this to one satellite just fine, that was never in question. The amount of resources and man power to do that to a fleet of 11.2k satellites which are purposely spread out around the globe to form a mesh that cover all of it, is absolutely humongous. The only way would be to hack them and force them to use their reserve…

  I really don't believe that. I do believe this is the way he thinks he van best cash in on his promise to end the war quickly and maybe get an uptick in the midterms (both legal and through russian mis-information bots), while at the same time make a good profit. That's what steers him currently: Not admitting defeat against Iran and somehow…

  Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday thanked the Trump administration for resuming intelligence sharing between the two countries, but maintained the US had intentionally throttled its Starlink satellite internet access so that Donald Trump could send a “message” in his ongoing feud with the Ukrainian president. In an interview on NBC, Zelenskyy said the…

  Scott Besset should be an outcast according to MAGA logic. He's gay. He's married to a man. He's adopted children with his husband. Same as Buttigieg, but for some reason he's accepted by MAGA. Republicans have no principles other than political persecution because an obese male that wears lifts plus adult diapers and fifty pounds of makeup to…
