Ukrainian president accuses Washington of ‘denial of reality’ in ongoing row with Trump over apparent support for Moscow

Ukraine did not receive a warning from the US about an impending Russian missile attack on Sunday evening, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said, reviving concerns that Washington is withholding intelligence in order to bully Kyiv into capitulating to Moscow.

Yuri Ihnat, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian Air Force, said on television on Monday morning that Ukraine had not received a warning before a Russian missile barrage hit power plants in Kyiv at around 11pm. Earlier, a Ukrainian government official had told the Guardian the US had not warned the capital about the impending missile strike.

    We should nationalize Starlink. This is too much power for a private citizen to control.

    Obviously they don’t mind being ordered around by the government, let’s make it official.

      In this case it’s not starlink, it’s probably the missile warning systems owned and operated by DoD.

      And yes, pretty much all of spaceX was funded by the US govt anyway.

      Funny because starshield (the one that was blocked, starlink is not affected) is under government’s control.
