There has been no explanation from Donald Trump or Elon Musk after Ukraine’s usual early warnings of missile attacks didn’t come as it was suddenly hit by restrictions on the satellite system they use to defend and attack.

Musk’s Starlink system and military offshoot Starshield are crucial to Ukraine’s defence, but Russian attacks plunged 600,000 people into darkness overnight as Ukraine also suddenly found its satellite guided interceptor drones didn’t work.
Meanwhile in London to meet both the King and the prime minister, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was once again calling for more help to resist Russian attacks.
Several people were also killed in attacks on apartments and a grocery store.
Relations are worsening between Trump and Zelenskyy and now with a loss of vital intelligence from the US, Trump’s claims of an energy ceasefire looked more hollow than ever.
