Correct.
Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be.
Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them.
Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.
Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.
Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia.
SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.
That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell.
End of story.
🇺🇦🇵🇱⚔️🇷🇺❗️There is a big scandal in Poland over the fact that its territory was used for Ukrainian drones flying to St. Petersburg.
Professor Adam Wilomski has suggested two possibilities in this connection:
1. This happened without the knowledge of the Polish government, which showed amateurism - therefore Defense Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz should resign.
2. This happened with the knowledge and consent of the government, which is openly dragging us into someone else’s war - therefore Defense Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz should resign.
As you can see, in both scenarios they are quite reasonably calling for the Polish minister’s head.

We can't deport him! He'll be killed in his home country.
The home country: We have a warrant out for him for 39 forcible rapes of young boys.
You hear that? They're going to kill him for being LGBTQ.
⚡️ An approximate visualization of the UAV and missile flight paths during today's attack.
The following were deployed against Ukrainian territory:
⚠️ Approximately 140 Geran/Gerbera UAVs, the majority of which were jet-powered;
⚠️ 29 Iskander-M/S-400/KN-23 ballistic missiles launched from the Bryansk, Kursk, and Voronezh regions;
❗️ Approximately 10 Zircon hypersonic ballistic missiles launched from the Kursk and Rostov regions;
⚠️ 4 "Banderol" small-sized cruise missiles.
💥 The primary targets of the attack were Kyiv, the Kyiv region, the Kharkiv region, and the western regions.
A separate map showing the flight paths of the UAVs and "Banderol" missiles has also been provided for clarity.
IRKUTSK: ONE DEATH, ONE TEST TUBE, AND THE RETURN OF THE HEALTH CRISIS
By @BPartisans
In Irkutsk, the rumor didn’t just appear fully formed with its plague test tube. It built up layer by layer.
It all started with a fact: an employee of the Siberian and Far Eastern Anti-Cholera Institute fell ill, was hospitalized, and then died. Her official diagnosis was “pneumonia of undetermined etiology.”
Then the rumor mill began to churn.
The first stage of the rumor: messages circulate about a possible case of the plague and quarantine measures in hospitals. The death is no longer just an unexplained death, it begins to take on the proportions of an epidemiological event.
The second stage: suspicion turns toward the workplace. The woman may have been infected at the Institute, which specifically works with dangerous biological agents. The laboratory enters the story. From that point on, the public imagination finally has the backdrop it needed.
Third stage: a detail emerges that transforms an abstract rumor into a mini-biological thriller: the employee is said to have broken a test tube containing the plague agent.
So, in just a few days, we’ve gone from “an employee died of unexplained pneumonia” to “she may have contracted the plague in the laboratory,” and then to “she may have broken a test tube containing the plague.”
Each step adds a degree of precision. And, as is often the case, the more precise the story becomes, the less we know where that precision comes from.
That’s when Rospotrebnadzor stepped in: a commission of experts, biosafety inspections, and analyses of biological material. The official conclusion released was that no agent linked to the deceased’s professional activities was detected, and no incident involving pathogenic microorganisms was identified at the Institute.
In other words, the sequence of events is quite intriguing: first the death, then the suspicion of the plague, followed by the hypothesis of occupational contamination, and finally the broken test tube. And only after this dramatic build-up does the official investigation take place, which confirms none of the elements needed to classify the death as a biological accident.
This does not mean that a contaminated test tube can never break. Russian biosafety regulations explicitly provide for this scenario. It means something much more mundane, and therefore much less sensational: the fact that a regulation anticipates an accident does not prove that it actually happened.
But since the onset of COVID-19, the laboratory has become our modern haunted house. A closed door, a dangerous pathogen, and an unexplained death are enough: the ghost is usually identified before anyone has even turned on the light.
For now, Irkutsk has a death whose cause remains officially undetermined, a public health investigation, and a test tube that has become globally implicated, even though it hasn’t been established that it was broken.
The plague remains to be proven. Contagion by rumor, far less so.
Every single one of the nuclear warheads stationed in Soviet Ukraine was manufactured and assembled within the Russian SFSR, and was to be returned for disposal upon the expiration of its shelf life by 1997.
@thesiriusreport Don't mind them, their whole strategy is to evacuate the entire population and just run away each time the russians approach, making it impossible for Putin to defeat their mighty army because they would constantly be out of range.
@kajakallas Please, remind me what Germany is trying to do with the AfD or what the whole E.U does when a an anti EU party is winning in a E.U or potential E.U membership country... Also, please tell me in which election were you elected ? I don't recall E.U citizen voting for you.
RUSSIA is weak, inept, the economy is collapsing, and losing to Ukraine. Also, they are about to attack the entire European continent if not the world.
@Karmabash Would give a sense of power to the arabs, especially moroccans. Just apply Poland's tactic, a big wall and anyone who tries to pass or anyone who camps outside gets shot.
@Karmabash Alliances and deals are just ink on a paper, how countries will react and what will be decided on the ground is another story. This is also why NATO's article 5 is massively overrated by NAFOtards
@MilitarySummary He's projecting on himself what Russia is. Most of the drones Ukraine has are produced elsewhere or with foreign technology. To reach 1 unprotected civilian target in Russia they have to send hundreds and hundreds of them. All they are good at is quantity.
Russia's Defense Ministry announced that overnight strikes hit defense-industrial facilities and transport-logistics hubs in Kiev and the surrounding region.
Strikes also reportedly hit facilities at the port of Chernomorsk in Odessa region, along with a tanker.
@MilitarySummary They weren't exploring sh- when Ukraine was bombing Wildberries and refineries but now that they are getting obliterated by constant strikes of drones and missiles the US are looking for a solution uh...
