NATO warns Zelensky that Trump could completely halt air defense supplies to Ukraine
The US has been supplying Ukraine with Patriot interceptor missiles irregularly in recent months, even though European allies have already paid for them.
According to Bloomberg, NATO officials have warned Ukrainian officials that deliveries could stop entirely if the conflict between Zelensky and Trump continues.
Meanwhile, The New York Times reports that Witkoff and Kushner intend to push Ukraine into a peace deal on Russia’s terms.
The Americans are trying to persuade Zelensky to abandon claims to occupied territories in exchange for a deal that would benefit Moscow.
Trump may try to force Ukraine to make concessions to Russia before December
According to The Washington Post, Moscow is trying to use the Trump administration to secure Ukrainian concessions on Donbas. The Kremlin could later demand restrictions on Ukraine’s military capabilities as well.
Andrew Weiss, an expert at the Carnegie Endowment, believes Trump’s actions are linked to efforts to reach a political settlement on terms that could force Kyiv to make concessions.
A G20 summit is scheduled to take place in Miami in December, and Trump has invited Putin.
The Kremlin views these developments as a sign of closer ties between Moscow and Washington.

I have real reservations about this claim. Starshield is bound by mountains of terms of service between the Pentagon on SpaceX. The idea that Musk just pulled and Office Space in Starlink HQ and told the watch worker to put up a speed gate on terminals around Ukraine sounds like a massive problem for the Pentagon as well as Ukraine. So yeah, I have real questions here.

If a reporter asked Trump -- or Vance or Rubio or Hegseth -- "Do you admire the Ukrainians for defending themselves against a barbarous invasion?" I wonder what he'd say.

“Michael Kofman…said ‘Ukrainian forces continue to be throttled in their ability to employ strike drones and interceptor drones to 160 kilometers per hour, but the current connection is below 130 kilometers per hour, and the limits continue to hamper Ukrainian strike operations and air defenses.’

“Some U.S. officials say that Musk acted unilaterally and that Trump didn’t specifically order any retribution against Ukraine. But a person familiar with the situation said Musk talked to multiple senior administration officials, including with Trump, before imposing the new speed cap, which Ukrainian officials said had allowed Russian missiles to evade their defenses.
