Trump says Ukraine must ask Musk for Starlink strike approval

US President Donald Trump said Ukraine needs to speak with billionaire Elon Musk to get permission to use Starlink terminals for strikes on Russian territory, as reported by RBC-Ukraine citing journalist Nana Sajaya. During a UN General Assembly meeting with Trump, Ukrainian officials raised the Starlink issue for targeting Russia, and Trump directed them to Musk. The bilateral meeting was described as "very good" and "very positive," with Ukraine confirming readiness for an energy ceasefire with Russia. Ukrainian negotiators will meet with France, Germany, and Britain representatives to discuss de-escalation steps and proposals for Trump's envoys, then speak with the Russian side. Musk previously refused Ukraine's request, citing concerns about further escalation and believing it's time for a peace deal.
