Zelenskyy attacks Trump over Starlink limits, straining US ties

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has sharply criticized Donald Trump over alleged US restrictions on Ukraine's Starlink network, a tone shift that Norwegian experts say could strain Kyiv-Washington relations. Zelenskyy, in two interviews, accused the Trump administration of favoring business deals with Moscow and expressed feeling betrayed, believing Ukraine is losing the US as a partner. Experts are divided on whether this public outburst was wise or necessary for maintaining domestic morale. The criticism follows a week of US actions, including a Russian diesel export deal and an unconfirmed energy ceasefire, while Ukraine faced Russian attacks and Starlink slowdowns. Norwegian researchers suggest Europe, reliant on the US, may use backchannels to mediate, with Norway potentially playing a key role.
