Trump is taking his midterms anger out on Ukraine
Vox • • nation
Key Points:
- Ukraine reports throttling of its access to Starlink and Starshield satellite internet systems by SpaceX, amid rising tensions with former President Donald Trump.
- Trump's current anger towards Ukraine is linked to rising oil prices and Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries, especially ahead of the US midterm elections.
- Trump announced a controversial US-Russia diesel deal and an "ENERGY CEASEFIRE" between Ukraine and Russia, both of which have been criticized and appear ineffective.
- Starlink and Starshield are crucial for Ukraine’s military communications and drone operations, playing a key role in its defense against Russia.
- The US has reportedly threatened to suspend intelligence sharing with Ukraine if it continues striking Russian refineries, pressuring Ukraine to adhere to Trump’s ceasefire despite ongoing Russian attacks.
