Ukraine's Starlink service was disrupted this week, prompting concerns over its critical role in battlefield communications. EU leaders have rallied around Zelenskiy as the conflict continues, with Trump and Musk denying responsibility for the outage.
Trump claimed neither he nor Musk caused the Starlink disruption, despite recent tensions with Zelenskiy. The outage has raised alarms about Ukraine's ability to maintain military operations, with EU officials emphasizing the need for reliable communication systems.
The EU is working to address the gap in Ukraine's military funding and to support Zelenskiy's efforts to end the war. Despite the outage, Starlink remains essential for Ukraine's defense, with Europe lacking a viable alternative in the short term.
Zelenskiy condemned the US-Russian diesel deal, calling it a 'parody' of peace efforts. He urged European allies to take a more active role in peace talks, highlighting the ongoing challenges of securing a resolution to the conflict.
