#Ukraine #Trump #News - White House ordered Starlink limits on Ukraine’s military: Reuters

18 October 2026

The worst crisis in US-Ukraine relations since last year’s Oval Office meltdown is deteriorating further over a dispute about who ordered a disruption to a critical Ukrainian military system running on Elon Musk’s Starlink internet service. Reuters reports that the order to limit the Ukrainian military's use of the SpaceX Starshield system came from inside the White House, citing two US officials and a Western official briefed on the matter. Ukrainian generals were shocked by the limits on the Starshield system, which is owned and controlled by the US government. The restrictions effectively limited the speed of Ukrainian military hardware, including drones, and reduced the military’s capacity to communicate and to operate war planes and helicopters. These curbs amounted to a significant military advantage to Russia’s forces on the battlefield. 0:00 Reuters: Order to limit Starshield for Ukraine came from inside White House 0:35 CNN political & national security analyst David Sanger unpacks the situation 3:21 Sanger: Trump "has gravitated toward Putin" every moment since taking office 5:29 CNN national security analyst Beth Sanner & journalist Jeff Mason on Starshield report 7:50 Zelensky praises "real leaders" in Europe amid rift with Trump

In Russia, a handful of businessmen control the oil and gas sector, serving Vladimir Putin's expansionist plans.

#Zelensky #UrsulaVonDerLeyen #AntónioCosta - ‘Not a Single Minute…’: Zelensky Looks On as Ursula Reveals What Putin Did to Trump’s Ceasefire: Hook Global

16 October 2026

European leaders are sending a firm message to Vladimir Putin as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky joins European Council President António Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen for crucial talks in Brussels. Von der Leyen delivers a pointed assessment of Russia’s response to the proposed energy ceasefire, declaring that Moscow did not respect it “not a single minute.” She argues that Russia’s escalation makes increased pressure essential, ruling out any lifting of sanctions until the war ends. Costa reinforces the EU’s position, insisting that Europe must strengthen its support for Ukraine rather than ease pressure on Moscow. Meanwhile, Zelensky warns that Russia has shown no sign of being ready to end the war and stresses Ukraine’s urgent need for energy assistance, air defence and funding ahead of winter. #Zelensky #UrsulaVonDerLeyen #AntónioCosta #Putin #UkraineWar

President Zelensky has said he feels "betrayed" by President Trump and the US. He believes access to Elon Musk's Starlink Starshield system, which is critical to Ukraine's fight against Russia, was limited. Ukraine said systems have now been restored.

In a bizarre turn of events, Trump mega donor Eric Deters has released a video in which he says he has an explosive recorded telephone conversation that will 'bring the entire Trump administration, including Trump, Marco Rubio, Susie Wiles and JD Vance down.'

By the end of tomorrow, I am going to play for you a phone recording that is the most explosive, most devastating information about Kimberly Guilfoyle to date." https://t.co/bzbCOmg64A

#Trump #starlink #Ukraine - Starlink restored but Ukraine's fate still uncertain • FRANCE 24 English

15 October 2026

Can a flick of a switch really be enough for Donald Trump and Elon Musk to end Ukraine's hopes of holding out against Russia? With Kyiv already reeling from daily strikes by Russia's new motor-powered drones, the United States decision to slow SpaceX Starlink service felt immediately Wednesday when air raid warnings failed.

We'll check the status on Starlink - reportedly back up to speed, ask if Volodymyr Zelenskiy has any friends in Washington that can convince an administration that prefers diesel deals with Moscow to supporting Ukraine, and whether supporters of Kyiv have run out of road.

They're striving to weene themselves off eight decades of depending on Washington for their defense. Do they have any agency? If not, is it the end of Ukraine, the end of Nato... and even the European Union as we know it?

🚨🚨ESPAÑA DEJA EN RIDÍCULO A TRUMP🚨🚨 Antes de entrar en la cumbre de la Unión Europea, el presidente del Gobierno español, Pedro Sánchez, lanzó unos tremendos dardos contra el payaso de la Casa Blanca: 🔥"La guerra contra Irán ha costado a los países europeos más de 100 mil millones de euros desde su inicio". 🔥"La guerra contra Irán ha provocado un aumento en los precios de la energía y del coste de vida, así como una disminución de la competitividad de la industria europea". 🔥"La guerra contra Irán es ilegal e injustificada". Por estas (y otras) declaraciones de Sánchez es por lo que Trump y Netanyahu organizaron el asalto a Ceuta. Por estas declaraciones, Trump y Netanyahu pusieron a todo el fascismo español, jueces incluidos, a trabajar contra Sánchez. Por estas declaraciones, EEUU e Israel intentarán adulterar las próximas elecciones en España para que sus lacayos españoles, de llegar al poder, les apoyen en sus guerras. Por ello, y para que no ocurra lo mismo en España que en Brasil, se pide colaboración al resto del mundo para que el trumpismo-sionismo (PP-VOX) no gane en las próximas elecciones españolas. Toda ayuda es poca. Gracias.

Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS," Musk said, referring to US President Donald Trump. FRANCE 24's International Affairs Editor Kethevane Gorjestani tells us more.

In this episode of “The David Frum Show,” The Atlantic’s David Frum discusses President Trump’s announced diesel deal with Russia, the administration’s abandonment of Ukraine, and why Trump is giving up so much to gain very little. Then, David is joined from Kyiv by Illia Ponomarenko, a Ukrainian journalist and the author of the new book “The Land of Tears and Hope.” David and Illia talk about the history of Ukraine, its current state as the war with Russia rages on, and how and why the Trump administration seems so hostile to the country. Finally, David concludes with discussion about why so little literature exists about the history of slavery in Eastern Europe.

#Podcast #UKPodcast #PoliticsPodcast - Why is Elon Musk sabotaging Ukraine? | The News Agents: The News Agents

14 October 2026

Just days after Donald Trump signed a deal with Vladimir Putin to import Russian oil into America, Ukraine has been dealt a new blow from the US.

Elon Musk has been accused of restricting the use of his Starlink devices - crucial satellites used by Ukraine in their war against the Kremlin. Why does it appear that MAGA seems intent on throwing the war for Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and, as Andy Burnham hosts Ukraine's president in Downing Street - is there anything he can do to repair the damage?

We speak to Trump's former Special Representative for Negotiations with Ukraine, Kurt Volker. Later, the Prime Minister has insisted he won't do any deal with the Greens while their 'Zionism is racism' motion remains party policy.

Zelenskyy seeks UK support as Ukraine faces a crucial winter

#diesel #trump #putin - The U.S. Tried to Choke Russia’s Energy Market. Then It Made a Diesel Deal: New York Times Podcasts

14 October 2026

President Trump announced a deal to purchase Russian diesel fuel and temporarily suspended sanctions in an effort to lower domestic fuel prices amid rising costs from the war in Iran and in anticipation of the upcoming midterms. This abrupt foreign policy shift stunned European allies and drew sharp criticism from Ukraine, which viewed the move as a weakening of Western leverage against Russia. Today, Anton Troianovski, a global affairs correspondent for The New York Times, discusses what the deal reveals about the Trump administration’s strategy with Russia, and how much it could actually lower prices at the pump.

Donald Trump’s plan to import Russian diesel despite Western sanctions has sparked fierce criticism in Washington, including from Republicans, as high fuel prices and the upcoming midterm elections put pressure on his administration. 

His approach to the Ukraine war has also drawn controversy, with calls for Kyiv to hold elections and claims of an energy ceasefire announced without clear agreement from the parties involved.
