BTW, he has already switched off Starlink before, to prevent a huge Ukrainian attack on the Russian fleet.
Get a clue. The use of starlink in the Ukraine is a lot more complicated than one man making decisions.

If you paid attention you would know the U.S. Government is in control of the Starlink system in Ukraine.

In June 2023, the Department of Defense officialized a contract with Shotwell's SpaceX to buy Starlink satellite services for Ukraine. The deal includes the Pentagon buying 400-500 Starlink terminals for Ukraine, giving the Pentagon control of where Starlink works inside the country without fear of interruption. The terms of services of the final contract were undisclosed for security issues. Following the contract, The Pentagon stated Starlink was a "vital layer in Ukraine's overall communications network" amidst "a range of global partners to ensure Ukraine has the capabilities they need.

And Musk and Trump are - well...


Musk has done it already once. He can do it again.

  • You just have to accept and prepare for our government to perhaps change radically every 4 or 8 years.
  • You should already be thinking of the next President 4 years from now.

No, you dont get it because you take political claims literal, for opportunistic reasons.

Tusk after Sikorski’s criticism of US regarding Starlink for Ukraine: True leadership means respect for smaller and weaker

Quote:
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has defended Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski, who was criticized by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and SpaceX owner Elon Musk for his posts on social media.

He said this on Twitter, Censor.NET reports.

"True leadership means respect for partners and allies. Even for the smaller and weaker ones. Never arrogance. Dear friends, think about it," Tusk said.

What preceded it?
As a reminder, the American billionaire and head of the U.S. Government's Department of Government Effectiveness (DOGE), Elon Musk, is convinced that Starlink is key for the Ukrainian Defense Forces, because without it, the front line would collapse.

Afterward , Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski reacted to billionaire Elon Musk's statement: "If SpaceX turns out to be an unreliable supplier, we will have to look for others."

Later, Rubio responded to a post by his Polish colleague Radoslaw Sikorski, in which he reacted to billionaire Elon Musk's threats to cut off Starlink systems for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Later, Musk assured that he would never stop Starlink's work in Ukraine. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3540261
Restoration of relations between Russia and United States will be long and difficult, - Peskov

Quote:
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized that the restoration of relations between Russia and the United States will be a long process.

This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to the Russian news agencyInterfax.

He noted that the countries are at the initial stage of the path to normalizing their ties.

"The path is going to be quite long and difficult, but at least two presidents have expressed political will in this direction," Peskov said.

According to him, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump have had only one phone conversation so far, but it was constructive and gave hope for the continuation of the dialogue.

To recap, senior officials of the Trump administration were to meet separately with the delegations of Ukraine and Russia in Saudi Arabia this week.

Afterward, the Russian Foreign Ministry denied information about a possible meeting with US representatives in Saudi Arabia this week. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3540266

A remarkable gift from the Russian authorities to relatives of fallen Russian servicemen in Ukraine have brought them criticism. Last week, politicians from Putin's ruling party visited mothers of fallen servicemen, as part of International Women's Day. This took place in the small town of Polyarnye Zori in the Murmansk region. Local representatives of United Russia handed over flowers in the process, but also arrived with a remarkable gift: mince pies. Images of the moment were shared on social media by the party.

France is speeding up supplies of military equipment and ammunition to Ukraine now that US aid has been suspended, Defence Minister Sébastien Lecornu said Sunday in an interview with La Tribune Dimanche. To speed up aid, the French army is transferring older equipment, including tanks and armoured cars. France will also allocate a new aid package of 195 million euros this year, financed with interest from frozen Russian assets. This includes artillery shells and missiles for the Mirage 2000 fighter jets that France has been supplying to Ukraine since February.

Ukrainian army commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrsky has arrived in the Russian border province of Kursk, which his country partially occupies. Russian and North Korean militaries are making significant ground gains over Ukrainian military forces there. According to Ukrainian media, Ukrainian units are said to be in a predicament. The Russian military is said to have blocked supply lines for Ukrainian troops on the frontline. Troops were also reportedly surrounded. The fact that the US has stopped sharing intelligence is said to play a role in this. The Ukrainian side denies that there is any different picture on the frontline. Syrsky contradicts the reports on Kursk. ‘There is no risk of encirclement,’ he said on social media. ‘The situation is under control.’ However, troops are being reinforced. Moreover, the US newspaper The New York Times reports, based on military analysts and Ukrainian soldiers, that the Russian offensive in the Donetsk region has virtually ground to a halt. Large losses are said to mean that Russia can only focus on one front at a time.

In 2014 there was a coup. Soon after, there was a massacre in Odessa (dozens of people were burned alive). Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. A civil war broke out due to the rise in ethnic tensions. For 8 years the Ukrainian military was indiscriminately shelling civilians living in Donbas.
