Satellite internet functionality via Starshield — the military version of the SpaceX service — was being at least partially restored Thursday morning, according to a source in the Ukrainian Defense Ministry.

Ukraine has resumed strikes on Russian oil refineries after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy angrily accused the United States of betraying Kyiv with a “dangerous” withdrawal of support critical to its defense against Russia.

Ukraine held off on attacks for three days after Donald Trump’s unilateral “energy ceasefire” announcement, but accused Russia of repeatedly attacking its power grid. Zelenskyy voiced mounting frustration over the Kremlin’s failure to abide by the truce, and what he sees as U.S. attempts to pressure Kyiv after gaps in intelligence sharing on Russian attacks and restrictions on the Starlink internet service.

Satellite internet functionality via Starshield — the military version of the SpaceX service — was being at least partially restored Thursday, according to a source in the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the topic.

In an interview with the Financial Times, published Thursday, Zelenskyy indicated his patience had already been exhausted.

Good. And this time, don’t fucking stop until Putin is a distant memory.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 11 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Carry on Ukraine. Fuck MAGA and their Russian masters. This proves, further, that the current US administration is completely unreliable and untrustworthy. I would not purchase US made weapon systems until the MAGA turds are gone.

Trump can fuck off straight to hell along with all his fucking Nazi followers.

Target more data centers please!

Understand one very important thing that's happening here: stopping Russia at this point in time benefits the entire planet.

They've been going around attacking countries, killing people, and slaughtering civilians for decades with absolutely no meaningful pushback from anyone.

Ukraine is simply able to push back.

Of course, the problem is that stopping Russia doesn't benefit a very small group of people, and that's evident by Trump's behavior. This very small group of people is willing to do literally anything and everything to protect what they have, purely for their own selfish purposes and nothing more.

It's obvious that Zelensky is no longer playing ball with this nonsense of the 1% doing whatever the hell they want. Good for him. It's time to put these people in their place and take their money away from them.

Sure, I’m not even going to disagree with you, except for the fact that we weren’t talking about the US in this post.

As a matter of fact, I was admonishing the US and its decision to betray the Ukrainians.

I will say this, however: regardless of how you feel about the US and your animosity toward it, Ukraine has been able to defend itself against Russia, in large part, because of the support it received from the United States.

Russia is a threat not just to the US, but to the rest of the world as well.

And as bad as the US really is, you’ll get no argument from me on that point, but we still have the capacity to do the right thing, at least to some degree. Keep in mind that this current administration is, in my opinion, the worst I’ve ever seen in my lifetime, and I’ve lived through quite a few presidents.

Adding to this. Step back a moment and notice that this is, in part, the same playbook being used everywhere else: California vs Florida, Red vs Blue; US vs Ukraine vs Russia.

These are distractions. We need to eat the rich. They are the problem and we outnumber them.

100%. Like I said a tiny group of people are benefiting from the immoral outcome.

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Throw in China, too. What's one more in the fray?

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

One big difference is that China attacks (what they consider to be) their own people.

I like when oil infrastructure explodes.

[–] davepleasebehave@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I saw an army patch in Ukraine with a drone above a refinery with the slogan: Just stopped oil.

[–] glibg@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 hours ago

That's awesome

accused Russia of repeatedly attacking its power grid

I hate how journalists use “accused” for both factual statements and lies.

This one can easily be defended by looking back 5days abcnews link

trump got mad and turned of starshield when the yandex datacenter got hit, which apparently was holding some of his financial accounts, like crypto in.

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 4 points 10 hours ago

You mean his own shitcoin?

[–] YouTalkinToMe@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

More important: the bots that should help him win the Midterms.

I wonder if Trump is the most hated person on the planet right now.

[–] scaredoftrumpwinning@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago

There's apparently still about 30% of Americans that still have no quams in backing a pedophile

[–] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

I don't hate a senile old rapist that shits its diapers. I think it should be in a mental institution. I despise however the tech-bros that enable these fucks in the rapeblican party

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 14 hours ago

tens of millions would pay good money to sniff his diaper.

I mean, https://is-he-dead-yet.com/ exists, and if you ask most people you could probably guess their guess off the top of your head lol.

Sadly, it still says, "No."
