- Elon Musk was reported to have ordered a reduction in satellite services that Kyiv considers crucial to defending against Moscow's invasion.
- The reported restrictions came shortly after Trump criticized Ukraine and urged it to stop targeting Russian oil refineries.
Why it matters: Ukraine treats the restricted satellite service as central to battlefield communications against Russian forces, and the restriction arrived days after Trump publicly pushed Kyiv to halt strikes on Russian energy infrastructure — placing frontline connectivity at the heart of the diplomatic fight.
