"A town got hit or whatever." Anhelina, a one-year-old, was killed in her stroller by a Russian Shahed yesterday in Kharkiv. Her mother, Inna Mariukhna, was also killed.

So Europeans paid for interceptor missiles for Patriot in Ukraine, but USA is refusing to deliver?!
Breaking news: The Trump administration has not approved the transfer of interceptor missiles to Ukraine that are needed to protect the country from Russian attacks, officials said, a delay that comes as President Trump has embraced Russia in recent weeks. wapo.st/4yCb7T7

Somewhat unremarked upon is that Trump has made two era-defining foreign policy decisions — launching war with Iran and de facto aligning the U.S. with its decades-old enemy/adversary Russia (formerly the Soviet Union) — with NO consultation of the American people. Absolutely none. He literally reserved more TV time for the “election foreign-interference” crock than on two strategies that could perpetually undermine U.S. national and economic security. That's an election issue if there ever was one.
Trump’s despicable actions regarding Ukraine in recent weeks are more than a bankrupt betrayal; they risk undermining the global alliance structure that keeps America first in the world. My latest for @dcexaminer - washingtonexaminer.com/in_fo…

Trump/Musk have removed drone capability from Ukraine's frontline defenders.
America's gifts to Russia never end, with Russian military bloggers now confirming that Washington's operation to cut Ukraine's Starlink has halted Ukraine's ability to strike Russian logistics routes in Ukraine. An operation likely written in the Kremlin, executed by Washington.

“Russian borders don’t end anywhere” is a quote from no-one else but Putin. Which is why giving him Donbas, or Kyiv for that matter, will not be the end of a war but the beginning of a new one — with Russia in a much stronger position and Ukrainians its cannon fodder.
Donald Trump says the Russian sanctions waiver is to help negotiate peace. But one Russian paper today writes: “We will make a deal with Ukraine entirely on our terms.” Another paper: “Russia’s borders, as we know, do not end anywhere.” #ReadingRussia

Why would Trump help Russia 2.5 weeks before a major US election? What is he getting in return?

One reason Putin was bold enough to invade Ukraine, then launch an all-out war, was that Europe was too dependent on Russian energy to fight back. Now that Europe is weaning itself off that catastrophic situation, the White House says they should buy Russian gas, for peace? 🤡
Идеи, которые возникают в Вашингтоне в последние недели, одна другой краше. После того как Дональд Трамп подписал указ, приостанавливающий действие ряда ограничений, предусмотренных «законом Грэма», стало известно о еще одной «прорывной» инициативе, которая якобы должна приблизить мир в Европе. Одним из ключевых элементов «мирного плана» администрации Трампа стало предложение Европе возобновить закупки российского газа в больших объемах. Эмиссары Трампа поднимали эту тему в беседах с украинскими и европейскими чиновниками, в том числе с Владимиром Зеленским. Американцы утверждали, что ради «стимулирования России к прекращению войны» Украине следует рассмотреть возможность возобновления работы газопроводов, проходящих по ее территории. Впрочем, как пишет NYT, европейцы отреагировали на эту идею резко отрицательно, хотя бы потому, что ее реализация свела бы на нет многолетние усилия Евросоюза по избавлению от зависимости от российского газа. Но в администрации Трампа рассматривают экспорт российского газа как потенциальную составляющую мирного соглашения. При этом американцы учитывают возможные доходы Украины от транзита, а также то, что европейские избиратели, по их мнению, неизбежно захотят более дешевых энергоносителей. Эти так называемые «компромиссные идеи» — уже даже не предложения о частичной капитуляции Украины. Это фактически предложение сдаться Путину всем континентом, вернув ему в руки любимый рычаг — возможность коррумпировать целые страны или развязывать «газовые войны» в случае неподчинения

New free article: Europe backed Washington in its hour of need. The US returned the favor with betrayal. Trump’s Russia policy is like Europe signing business deals with Al-Qaeda after 9/11 joniaskola.substack.com/p/eu…

He was not.
Putin believes he will get Trump to lift sanctions and get some assets returned while not really pausing attacks on Ukraine and while continuing to ramp up militarization in Russia. Is he wrong?

“Elon Musk approached Donald Trump with the idea of slowing down Starlink in Ukraine, The Telegraph can reveal. The billionaire tech entrepreneur approached the US president with the proposal to introduce speed limits on the system, which hampered Ukraine’s drone defences, according to four sources familiar with the discussions. One of the sources said Mr Trump “agreed” with Mr Musk’s suggestion, paving the way for the Pentagon to execute the slowdown on Starshield, the military-grade version of the satellite communications system.

When lying becomes a state policy…
Trump: we are running low on ammo not because of my war on Iran but because Biden gave “massive amounts” of Tomahawks to Ukraine. The U.S. didn’t supply a single Tomahawk to Ukraine.

Trump, who regularly attacks President Zelensky and calls for his removal, says he won’t call Vladimir Putin a “dictator” because he needs to make deals with him. “I’ve always been a very good deal maker. I became very rich because of deals. So I don’t go around mocking people.”

Key point: Starshield is controlled by DOD. The speed based throttling came from the DOD, not Musk, meaning that Trump almost certainly authorized this personally.
Replying to @KofmanMichael
Yes - normal Starlink has been speed-restricted since 2025, so the issue is with Starshield - indicating that this is a DoD action (not directly SpaceX). Ukrainian OWA drones (plus some interceptor drones, helicopters, and planes) have apparently been using Starshield.

A good visualization: I can post this useless photo at an altitude of about 10 km and a speed of around 800 km/h, but the Ukrainian army cannot carry out the operations it needs against the largest nuclear fascist dictatorship.

So Elon Musk company @Starlink has breached the commercial agreement with a NATO country- because Starlink coverage in Ukraine is based on a commercial agreement paid by Poland.
Replying to @JimmySecUK
Presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's SpaceX is deliberately crippling Ukrainian Starlink terminals: "I can confirm that tonight SpaceX has implemented a speed limit on Starlink terminals while in motion. The limit currently applies to the StarShield “military package” and is set at 100 mph. Our defense forces were not given notice of this limit, and this has resulted in the disruption of a number of missions. It is clear that this action cannot be a coincidence and is related to the current political situation."
