Starlink Outage Halts Ukraine Missions as Trump Sides with Russia

Ukrainian forces cancelled military missions after a major disruption to the Starlink satellite network, raising fears that Kyiv is losing American support. The outage struck a system Ukraine relies on for battlefield communications. Without it, commanders could not direct drone strikes or coordinate troops. The disruption came as President Donald Trump publicly sided with Russia in its ongoing dispute with Ukraine. A Ukrainian leader accused Trump of betrayal. The events have intensified concerns in Kyiv that Washington's backing is fading.
