Things are even worse: restrictions were imposed on the Starshield, a special military-grade system for which Ukraine has separate contracts. The Starshield is under the control of the US Department of War.
It looks like Trump and his administration have made a desperate attempt to pressure Ukraine into a capitulation. They: 1) halted any transfers of intelligence; 2) limited Starlink operations. What next? Intelligence for Russia?

If any jerk would tell you about the superiority of Russian science or culture, always remember what they do to the science and culture of neighboring nations. They have been getting it bombed, executed, or having it perish in Siberia for centuries.
🚨 UPD: A woman was killed and at least three others were injured after Russian forces struck the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in central Kyiv.

Why do Russians do such things? Because they can.
🚨 EVIDENT WAR CRIME. Russian forces published horrifying FPV drone footage showing the deliberate tracking and striking of an unarmed civilian riding a bicycle near Kramatorsk. This is direct, documented proof of Russia’s intentional terror against innocent Ukrainian civilians.

This isn't a scandal, but rather a clear disregard for their own military doctrines: First, use precision-guided munitions to "Kick-Down-the-Door," then engage in sustained combat with legacy munitions.
Between 2016 and today, the US has spent almost $9 trillion on defense. It then ran dangerously low in many advanced munitions fighting a country with no air force and navy--after about two months of combat operations. This is an extraordinary scandal.
Our research on why residents of occupied Ukrainian territories pursue Russian citizenship. Just out in Ethnopolitics. The sample includes those who: live in occupied territories; relocated to Russia; IDPs and refugees in the EU visiting these areas doi.org/10.1080/1744... Free link in 1st comment
A post about assaults on Ukrainian children in Polish schools has received nearly 9.000 laughing reactions from ‘ordinary Polish people.’ www.facebook.com/share/p/1Diz...
The only uncertainty is whether Trump is doing this because of his obsession with dictators or because he is bribed every time.
If you cannot accept that what Trump has done over the last year and a half is starve Ukraine of air defense, and put off any new aid for as long as possible, so Putin can terrorize Ukraine from the air for as long as possible--you cannot accept reality.
