Zelenskyy: No warning from partners as Starlink access restricted in Ukraine

Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy accused Western partners of failing to warn of Russian ballistic missile strikes, as Starlink access was restricted in Ukraine. Kyiv's energy infrastructure was targeted in two attacks within 24 hours, with no advance warning from international allies.

Zelenskyy said Ukraine had again received no warning from Western partners before a previous overnight attack on the capital. Starlink, crucial for military operations, was restricted without warning, disrupting drone missions and complicating frontline logistics.

The EU said there is no indication that intelligence sharing with Ukraine has stopped, despite reports of Starlink service disruptions. The restrictions come as Washington pressures Kyiv to halt attacks on Russian oil refineries, raising questions about U.S. intelligence sharing in relation to Russian missile launches.

Ukraine's defense forces reported disruptions in Starlink connectivity, affecting interceptor drones and mid-range strike missions. The EU and U.S. have not commented on the issue, with no clear link to Trump's pressure on Kyiv to stop attacking Russian refineries.
