We don’t use Starlink for our responses inside Russia. We use Starlink to intercept jet-powered “shaheds” that attack our civilians and kill families.

Starlink wasn’t turned off – its speed was reduced. And when the speed was reduced, we were unable to intercept a certain number of jet-powered “shaheds.” We couldn’t use a tool that helps protect people. That’s very painful and frustrating.

We also use Starlink for mid-range strikes against enemy military targets in our temporarily occupied territories. We couldn’t do that when the restrictions were in place. And third, what matters most is people. Our warriors, who spend weeks and months on the front line, receive food and water delivered by drones using Starlink.

Has the speed been fully restored to what it was before? No. Is it being restored now? Yes.

EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk came to Donald Trump with the plan to throttle Ukraine’s use of SpaceX’s Starshield satellite internet network, sources have told the Telegraph.

The tech billionaire made the proposal during the US President’s row with Volodymyr Zelensky over strikes on Russian oil refineries.

‘The reality is that they were both in it,’ a senior source said of Musk’s and Trump’s involvement.

But after a night of carnage in Kyiv caused by the slowdown, Musk was alarmed about the possibility of adverse consumer reaction in Europe.

The SpaceX boss then proceeded to tweet, blaming the US administration, and ultimately, President Trump for authorising the slowdown.

‘He tweeted out that he was innocent and that it was the US administration that did it,’ the source said.

⏰The head of the @BritishArmy has just delivered a massive wake-up call to his troops - and the whole of the UK - about the gathering storm.

Please read or watch ⬇️

General Sir Roly Walker tells his soldiers: "You didn’t know this but our nation is going to need you.

"Very soon the political leaders of this country will start to have a frank conversation with the citizens of this country about just what is going on and where the risk lies.

"They are going to try and explain to our citizens that our citizens have got to consent to sacrifices to prioritise defence and security.

"And then they are going to ask those citizens, to whom we are not necessarily at the front of their mind, that they too need to play a part in the defence and security of this country.

"They need to understand what we do for them.

"They need to consent to allow us to do that, which means sacrifices by them.

"And ultimately we are going to need them to back us, to back you to do the one thing that you do that noody else gets to do and that is to take the fight to the enemy."

"Remote access" is hacking or surveillance; call it what it is. "Remote analysis" quickly switches the remit from preventing crime to surveillance. There will be checks and balances blah blah blah... 🇯🇵

Japan’s Meteorological Agency mistakenly issued an early warning for a magnitude 9.9 earthquake, but the actual magnitude was 6.9, according to the USGS; no tsunami alert was issued.

One Ukrainian robot got two Russian units to spend half a day shooting each other.

Operation "Vivaldi" has quietly turned into one of Ukraine's sharpest pushes this fall — and it also produced one genuinely absurd moment worth telling.

A ground robotic system with a mounted machine gun rolled into the gap between two tree lines where Russian troops were positioned. It opened fire on one tree line. Then it opened fire on the other.

Both Russian groups assumed the other side had just been hit by Ukrainian forces — and started shooting at each other.

For half a day.

"It started shooting into one tree line, then the other. Then they started shooting at each other — both sides thought it was the enemy, and they fired at one another for half a day."
— "Disney," deputy communications officer, 3rd Separate Assault Brigade

Beyond the comedy, "Disney" gave a real glimpse into what's actually happening on the Vivaldi front — and the gap between what Russian commanders are reporting up the chain and what's true on the ground.

Russian Telegram channels keep claiming captured settlements and destroyed Ukrainian robotic systems.
Meanwhile, Russian forces have had to funnel reinforcements through the same few routes, repeatedly, because Ukrainian control of the Zherebets River has made crossing to the other bank genuinely difficult.

"If we control it, logistics to that riverbank get pretty complicated for them. But they didn't give up — they kept sending people. Of those, maybe 10% actually made it through."

Somewhere in Russian command, someone is still trying to explain how they lost that much territory.

One machine-gun-mounted robot turned two Russian positions into each other's problem — and that's Operation Vivaldi in a single scene.

And this is patently a lie since there is numerous documentation that UK special forces have fought Russian troops in Ukraine. Talking out of his arse is what Cummings does.

Sounds damning until you google how many times Dominic Cummings has been *caught* lying. The right really doesn’t like the ECHR even after we’ve left the EU.

🚨Wow! Dominic Cummings! Never backward in coming forward 😳

So WHY does a convicted terrorist get released from prison after MI5 warn you that something else will happen WITHOUT surveillance!
