Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says Kyiv will resume attacks on Russian oil refineries, escalating tensions with President Donald Trump over Washington’s approach to the war.
Ukrainian officials say disruptions to Starlink’s military services have complicated defence operations as Russian forces intensify aerial attacks.
Zelensky warned that restricted communications could increase casualties. Elon Musk said Starshield is controlled by the US government, while commercial Starlink is intended for civilian and defensive use.
The dispute follows US pressure on Kyiv to halt strikes against Russian energy infrastructure. Meanwhile, Russia has continued attacking Ukrainian facilities, leaving hundreds of thousands without electricity, according to Zelensky.
