Today, russia struck a public park in Nova Vodolaha, Ukraine’s Kharkiv region, killing six people: three women, one man, and two little girls born in 2015 and 2025.
Fifteen others were injured, including seven children.
For President Trump, apparently, this is what “they haven’t been doing much” looks like.
Meanwhile the U.S. is still withholding approval for deliveries of Patriot interceptor missiles that have already been contracted and paid for by Ukraine’s allies.
Instead of asking Zelenskyy to tone down his criticism of Trump, European politicians should demonstrate their own resolve through concrete action and meaningful support for Ukraine.
How low some European politicians have sunk. Absolutely disgusting.
A Ban on Self-Defense
Imagine buying a Lenovo computer, a Bosch appliance, a Toyota, or simply paying for a Netflix subscription. You pay for it, use it, and stick to the terms of the agreement.
Then one day, it suddenly stops working. You call customer support, and they tell you: “There’s nothing wrong with your device. The company owner has simply decided you shouldn’t be allowed to use it today. He has his own views on things.”
Sounds absurd? Of course. That’s why we have laws, contracts, consumer rights, and corporate accountability. Even when a company has the right to restrict a service, that right should be clearly stated in the agreement, and there should be a legitimate reason for exercising it.
But apparently, Starlink operates under different rules.
Elon Musk controls one of the world’s most important satellite communication systems. He has the technical ability to restrict its operation remotely. And right now, people’s lives depend on that connection, including Ukrainian soldiers and civilians.
On October 14, 2026, Reuters reported new restrictions on satellite communications for Ukrainian forces. These restrictions disrupted drone operations and forced the cancellation of some combat missions.
Put simply, operations to destroy russian missile launchers were disrupted. Those same launchers remained intact, continued firing at Ukrainian cities, and killed more civilians, including women and children.
And unfortunately, this has happened before.
In 2022, during Ukraine’s counteroffensive in the Kherson region, Starlink connections went down. Reuters later published an investigation reporting that Musk had personally ordered coverage restrictions in areas where Ukrainian forces were advancing.
That same year, he refused to activate Starlink coverage near Crimea for a Ukrainian naval drone operation against the russian fleet.
In 2023, SpaceX executives openly acknowledged that the company had restricted Ukraine’s ability to use Starlink to control drones.
Somehow, we’ve ended up in a world where a country under attack has to keep explaining why it has the right to defend itself. Where strikes against the aggressor’s territory spark more debate about escalation than the daily russian bombardment of Ukrainian cities.
And now, a private businessman can influence that country’s ability to defend itself.
All of this is happening while the world knows perfectly well who putin is and what his wars have cost.
Chechnya. The Second Chechen War began in 1999 and claimed up to 25,000 lives, mostly civilians, according to human rights estimates. The exact number of children killed remains unknown.
Georgia. In 2008, according to Georgian authorities, 228 civilians were killed. Children were among the victims.
Ukraine. Since 2014, thousands of civilians have been killed. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion alone, the United Nations had confirmed more than 16,000 civilian deaths by mid-2026, including more than 800 children. The real numbers are almost certainly much higher.
We could also talk about Syria, where russian military operations have caused thousands of civilian deaths, including children, according to independent monitoring organizations.
And after all of this, we’re still discussing whether we should be afraid of making putin angry.
Let me remind you that the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for putin over alleged war crimes involving the unlawful deportation of Ukrainian children.
That is why I call putin’s regime a terrorist regime.
So, is Musk deliberately helping russia? Some of the Starlink restrictions have had consequences that benefited the russian military. I believe the public has every right to demand an investigation into whether those consequences were intentional.
I’m not naive. I understand perfectly well that when you’re drowning, you often have to save yourself. Ukraine has been living with that reality since 2014.
Russia hit Kyiv with ballistic missile, again S-400 and again without warning from U.S. intelligence. President Zelenskyy and Ukrainian Air Force confirmed there was NO EARLY WARNING. Missile hit Kyiv Power Plant-4, another missile struck area near residential building.
Second straight strike without early warning. There are strong suspicions that Trump indeed cut off early warning of ballistic missile strikes.
As I said earlier today, if Russia stops bombing Ukraine, Ukraine will stop bombing Russia.
Why isn’t the pressure on Putin to stop attacking Ukraine?
I don’t think @ZelenskyyUa is being unreasonable.
I fully support President Trump and I empathize with Amercians paying more for diesel, but you have to admit, Putin refusing to come to the table to sign a deal and his refusal to stop targeting civilians with ballistic missiles is abhorrent. Zelenskyy is trying to save his people from being slaughtered by a madman. Putin has been refusing to end this war that President Trump wants to end. Zelenskyy said he would stop bombing Russia but Putin won’t agree to stop bombing Ukraine.
How does that work?
At the end of the day, Vladimir Putin has killed more white, Christian European men and women than Al Baghdadi ever did.
That’s a fact. Putin is actually worse than ISIS.
Trump announced that he had reached a deal with putin to supply diesel fuel.
I have a brilliant idea! Why not supply the US with non-russian diesel from South Korea instead, while stopping fuel shipments from Korean ports to russia — a terrorist state?
America gets diesel. South Korea makes money. putin loses revenue.
Everyone wins. Except the terrorists.
Share this with your friends who live in South Korea. Unfortunately, it appears that the current South Korean government is trying to conceal this information.
Today, as a birthday “gift” to Putin, the Russian army destroyed a residential building in Pryluky, in the Chernihiv region. It was an ordinary five-story apartment building. Tragically, as of now, five people have been reported killed and 26 injured, including five children. There may still be people under the rubble. First responders are working nonstop at the site – doing everything possible to find every person. Russian missile strikes also damaged five apartment buildings in Dnipro and four high-rise buildings in Kremenchuk. Tragically, two people were killed and eight injured. A high-rise building in Zaporizhzhia was damaged by a drone. In Kyiv, the Russians killed two people. Two more people were killed in Oleksandriya… My condolences to all the families and loved ones of those killed. Overall, infrastructure in Kyiv and 12 regions came under attack last night.
One of the key targets was our energy infrastructure. The Russians wanted to strike painfully and demonstratively. This was one of the most vile strikes: 70 missiles in total, many of them ballistic, as well as “shaheds.” Unfortunately, only some of them were shot down. Russian ballistic missiles remain the greatest challenge. And air defense packages for us right now are a vital necessity. That is why every day we are looking for missiles for Patriot systems that can and must actually protect people’s lives here, in Ukrainian skies. Thank you to everyone who is helping us.
Look at this disgusting, slimy South Korea. 🤮🤮🤮
South Korea is supplying fuel to Russia using sanctioned tankers to offset shortages caused by attacks on oil refineries.
In total, seven tankers made 14 voyages to Russia. Three of these vessels are subject to sanctions imposed by the UK and the EU. To conceal their routes, they reported false destination ports (such as Japan or Singapore).

Maybe Tucker will visit Russia next when he leaves the UAE this week.
It is good to see that common sense is still alive in South Korea. Around 200,000 people took to the streets against President Lee Jae-myung’s policies, including what they see as his overly soft approach toward North Korea.
Three South Korean soldiers were wounded by the explosion of North Korean mines. The UN Command documented a violation of the Armistice Agreement, while Lee Jae-myung described what happened as an “unfortunate accident.”
And the very next day, the president publicly turned his criticism toward Ukraine and threatened “additional measures.” It gives the impression that this was an attempt to shift attention away from a problem unfolding literally on South Korea’s own border.
A very low move. Unworthy not only of a president, but of a man.
It is good to see that Koreans themselves understand a simple truth: it is better to be prepared for a war that never comes than to find yourself helpless one day when the enemy has already entered your country.
And that kind of preparedness requires a president who faces problems directly and calls them what they are. Is Lee Jae-myung that kind of president? That is for Koreans themselves to answer.
Ukrainians do not interfere in the politics of other countries — until their politicians start dragging Ukraine into it.
