Zelensky Questions US Reliability as Mediator After Starlink Restrictions

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a Financial Times interview that only unity between the US and Europe can stop Russia, while expressing serious concerns about recent US actions regarding Starlink access. Zelensky stated he proposed to President Trump that if Starlink were opened over Russian territory, Ukraine could destroy Russian ballistic launch systems, but Washington instead reduced coverage. He called this a serious mistake, though he acknowledged Trump faces other challenges and believes most Americans support Ukraine. The comments follow recent US announcements of an energy ceasefire with Russia and warnings about intelligence sharing if Ukraine attacks refineries. On October 14, a Ukrainian military advisor said SpaceX limited Starlink speeds without warning, citing political reasons.
