Zelensky reportedly asked Trump to help persuade Elon Musk to expand Ukraine's Starlink access for drone strikes against Russia. The request came in a closed Oval Office meeting during Zelensky's U.S. visit for Senator Lindsey Graham's memorial service; he also appealed to lawmakers. Starlink, controlled by Musk, provides satellite internet in harsh conditions. Ukraine views broader access as an alternative to Patriot missiles. Trump may approve only if it helps end the war, now in its fifth year.
