Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has suggested that the United States government was behind restrictions placed on Starlink satellite internet services in Ukraine. The remarks surfaced amid broader geopolitical tensions surrounding the ongoing conflict.
The comment coincides with statements from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who expressed feelings of betrayal by the US following a diesel deal tied to Donald Trump and the implementation of the Starlink limitations. The developments have added fresh strain to international support for Kyiv.
Meanwhile, European leaders gathered in Brussels for a European Council summit to address the latest developments in the region. Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten used the occasion to voice steadfast support for Ukraine, emphasizing that Russian President Vladimir Putin bears sole responsibility for continuing the war. Jetten urged European allies to step up their backing to help Ukraine defend itself and achieve a lasting peace.
