Trump's Ukraine Reversal: A New Low in US-Ukraine Relations

The US government has restricted Ukraine's access to vital satellite data and early warning systems, while President Donald Trump has eased sanctions on Russia and criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, marking a new low in US-Ukraine relations. According to Ukrainian officials, the US limited use of the Starshield satellite network without warning, causing drone operations to fail and cutting off alerts about Russian missile attacks. The White House reportedly threatened to suspend warnings if Kyiv continued striking Russian energy infrastructure, which Ukraine did with over 1,000 drones over the weekend. Trump has praised Putin, saying Russia "behaved correctly" regarding Ukraine, and suggested Zelenskyy should be replaced. Zelenskyy warned Ukraine would not survive if the US officially sided with Russia, while European allies continue providing support amid delays in Patriot missile deliveries.
