After the Starlink disaster, Finnish tech companies have announced they will help Ukraine build its own sovereign satellite system!

SLAVA UKRAINI!

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

The speed limits on Starlink and Starshield are still there. The speed has not been restored. And the delivery of interceptors to protect us against Russian ballistic missiles is still delayed. We’re waiting for interceptors that were already agreed on. But they are still not coming. This is a real problem, because the Russians attack us almost every single day.

All of this is happening while we continue our quite successful operations on the front. We keep defending positions. Things have become harder – partly because of the Starlink and Starshield policies and speed limits. But our frontline is still holding and I am proud of how strong our people are.

From an address at the Hudson Institute. (2/3)

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

Incredible scoop by my @WSJ colleagues: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine, a decision that sparked panic in Kyiv and confusion inside the Trump administration. https://t.co/yvd8Xlgxe0

🇺🇦🇩🇪 THE END OF PUTIN'S DRONES! GERMANY IS SENDING UKRAINE ITS LATEST SKYRANGER AIR DEFENSE SYSTEMS!

Germany is supplying Ukraine with advanced Skyranger mobile air defense systems manufactured by the German defense company Rheinmetall.

These modern, highly automated air defense systems are designed to intercept drones, cruise missiles, and other low-flying aerial threats, providing a powerful additional layer of protection against Russian attacks.

Key features and capabilities:

Drone-free zones: Each Skyranger unit is designed to protect a designated area against hostile unmanned aerial vehicles. Under suitable operational conditions, a single system can help establish a protective zone covering approximately 4 × 4 kilometers.

Intelligent ammunition: The system uses programmable airburst ammunition. Instead of relying solely on a direct hit, its cannon fires projectiles that release a concentrated cloud of tungsten subprojectiles at a precisely calculated point in front of the target, dramatically increasing the probability of destroying incoming drones.

Versatile platforms: The Skyranger family includes the Skyranger 30, equipped with a 30 mm automatic cannon and optional short-range air defense missiles, and the Skyranger 35, featuring a powerful 35 mm KDG revolver cannon. The modular turret can be integrated onto armored vehicles, including Boxer platforms, while the Skyranger 35 has also been developed for integration with Leopard 1-based vehicles.

High rate of fire: Depending on the configuration, the weapons can achieve rates of fire of approximately 1,000–1,250 rounds per minute, allowing rapid engagement of incoming aerial threats.

For Ukraine, these deliveries are particularly important as Russia continues launching waves of attack drones against cities, energy facilities, and other critical infrastructure.

Putin's drones are facing an increasingly dangerous enemy. Germany is helping Ukraine build a stronger shield over its skies. 🇺🇦🇩🇪

WAY TO FUCKING GO, SWEDEN!

While Putin tries to freeze Ukrainians into submission, Sweden steps up to keep the lights on and families warm.

That’s humanity. That’s leadership.

FUCK PUTIN!

A year ago today, Max Scherzer waved off John Schneider and stayed on the mound. Minutes later, Scherzer struck out Randy Arozarena to end the inning. The @BlueJays ended up winning 8-2 to even their series against Seattle at two games apiece #BlueJays50

Brewers 1B Jake Bauers decided to retire two years ago. His wife was going to go back to work as a teacher and he would be a stay-at-home-dad. Three weeks later, though, she found out she was pregnant with their second child.

Bauers decided to return to baseball only because his family needed health insurance. Tonight he was named MVP of the National League Championship Series.

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

🇬🇧🇺🇦 BREAKING: Britain is reportedly sending Ukraine additional long-range Storm Shadow cruise missiles, according to Bloomberg.

London is strengthening Ukraine's ability to strike Russian military targets while Moscow continues its attacks.

Britain is standing with Ukraine. Actions, not empty promises!

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

J'ai redit ce soir au Président Zelensky notre détermination à nous tenir aux côtés de l'Ukraine et du peuple ukrainien.

Alors que la Russie fait le choix d'escalader parce qu'elle est enlisée sur le front, il est capital que nous donnions collectivement à l'Ukraine tous les moyens nécessaires pour se défendre et pour protéger sa population civile et ses infrastructures.

J'ai également redit notre détermination à continuer de soutenir l'Ukraine dans la recherche d'une paix solide et durable. La France continuera de prendre ses responsabilités.

[News to Remember @allchronology]

I found this photo of president Zelenskyy incredibly sad. Never has a man tried harder to save his people and his country. He will go down in history as one of the worlds greatest leaders.

[Donald Tusk @donaldtusk]

After my talks with European leaders in Brussels today, I can reassure you, dear Ukrainian friends and President @ZelenskyyUa: YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
