Zelenskyy Says He Uses Starlink Systems to Attack Russia inside Occupied Region of Ukraine

Perhaps this is the source of the problem.  Elon Musk has repeatedly said that Starlink systems are not permitted to be used for military operations; the Starlink system is a commercial communication system that carries terms of service that do not permit use as a weapon.

The Starshield system (not Starlink) is the government military system created by Musk and is utilized for military purposes as controlled by the U.S. government.  Starshield is not a commercial system and the authorization for use is through the government.

Zelenskyy is now claiming he uses Starlink for military attacks, a violation of the terms of service, but claims he only uses them inside Ukraine territory.

Zelenskyy – “We don’t use Starlink for our responses inside Russia. We use Starlink to intercept jet-powered “shaheds” that attack our civilians and kill families.

Starlink wasn’t turned off – its speed was reduced. And when the speed was reduced, we were unable to intercept a certain number of jet-powered “shaheds.” We couldn’t use a tool that helps protect people. That’s very painful and frustrating.

We also use Starlink for mid-range strikes against enemy military targets in our temporarily occupied territories. We couldn’t do that when the restrictions were in place. And third, what matters most is people. Our warriors, who spend weeks and months on the front line, receive food and water delivered by drones using Starlink.

Has the speed been fully restored to what it was before? No. Is it being restored now? Yes.” {SOURCE}

Chopper Presser – President Trump Impromptu Presser Departing the White House

President Trump answers questions from the media as he departs the White House to board Marine-One.  President Trump was asked about Zelenskyy’s claim that Starshield and/or Starlink systems were slowed down following instructions from the White House. Trump says he doesn’t have any idea why that would be said, but he asked about it and was told that nothing changed.  It appears Zelenskyy is making stuff up again.

President Trump also noted that he told Press Secretary Katie Zacharia to reconsider whether or not she wants the job as White House Press Secretary.  He remarked that he told Zacharia to “reconsider” the job given the attack posture against her by the mainstream media.  Trump just wants Zacharia to be happy, and he’s concerned about the attacks from the media toward her and her family.  WATCH:

Zelenskyy Restarts Attacks Against Russian Oil Refineries

The AP is reporting that Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has restarted drone attacks against Russian oil refineries despite the request by President Trump to halt targeting energy infrastructure.  There are a lot of aspects within this dynamic.

♦ First, keep in mind that any attacks against Russian infrastructure should always be evaluated against the capability of Russia to effectively mitigate such attacks.  Russia is an analog infrastructure in a digital world, and one of the benefits to their system is the rapid repair capability in the old-school systems.

This may seem like a small detail, however, as noted in the prior attacks against almost all Russian infrastructure, Russia continued energy operations and exports of diesel fuel despite Ukraine targeting. Russia is remarkably resilient and they build out their capabilities with redundancies no longer used in most of the western industrial systems.

Due to their analog systems Russia may be less efficient in maximizing productivity; but what they lose in industrial productivity becomes an actual asset when shifting between internal systems becomes a matter of physically opening and closing valves to shift from damaged to operational stations. Russia’s slow adaption of technological innovation factually becomes a strategic advantage in this type of kinetic war.

♦ Second, it is worth remembering that oil refining capacity has been curtailed by the “climate change advocates” who now assemble to support Zelenskyy.  The nations now aligned against the interests of Russia are yet dependent on the dirty industrial carbon energy resources provided by Russia and other oil exporting countries.

True The Vote 2026 Action Plan: “7 Votes” to Make a Difference

Obviously, this midterm election comes with anxiety and concern.  However, Catherine Engelbrecht and the great friends at True the Vote have put together a solid tool to help MAGA reach and support the midterm election effort.

They have created a mobile platform app and website where you can message seven friends and or family members with a tool to check registration, verify polling place and generally remind them of the importance to vote. [SEE HERE]

Making a difference starts with us. TTV has created a tool that is friendly, not obtrusive and customizable for your use.  Every vote counts, and small impacts in turnout can make a huge difference.

“As you know, headlines cry of manufactured calamity, polls are skewed, the whole landscape is a mess, but the stakes this midterm are real — and the ground we’ve gained (particularly in areas like election integrity, but it’s across the board) will be lost if we don’t show up.”  [LINK TO WEBSITE/App]

Zelenskyy Urgently Sits Down for Interviews as Trump Begins Highlighting “The Zelenskyy Problem”…

It is almost impossible to explain what is happening to those who have not followed the last five years of events closely.

In the latest development, yesterday Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy -attempting his best Churchill performance- rushes to British media outlets to give lengthy interviews.  Zelenskyy is in London because that is the center of his support system.

If you are a denier of CTH’s long standing outline about Ukraine being World War Reddit, yet you hold some intellectual honesty permitting you to accept uncomfortable truth, you might perhaps pause and think about what is happening carefully.

Zelenskyy is in a crisis moment within the Russia conflict.  Ukraine is getting pummeled by Russia’s fast moving and highly accurate drones and missiles.  Yet, at this moment of consequence, Volodymyr Zelenskyy finds the time to travel to the U.K and give long interviews with pro-Ukraine media outlets.

What exactly is the priority here? ….

Zelenskyy is fighting a narrative war. That’s why the term World War Reddit applies.

It is transparently obvious what is going on. Zelenskyy has one primary demand, more money. That’s it. The rest is positioning and false presentations of patriotism. The “defense of Ukraine” narrative is not about defending Ukraine in the traditional sense; it’s about using the defense of Ukraine to get money.
