If I were an investor (which I am but a very small one), I would look to European satelite producers like GomSpace.
In Europe, we also make satellites that can send internet to the ground. And now that Starlink has proven that they are a tool for working against Europe and can not be trusted, the European companies will have their order books full.
In case you missed it, this is BIG!: Ukraine has officially gained access to NATO’s procurement system!
Ukraine signed an agreement with the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA), opening access to NATO procurement mechanisms.
This means faster access to military supplies, fewer intermediaries, and new opportunities for Ukrainian defence manufacturers to compete for NATO contracts.

Jesse Adams was helping bring out animals to safety from the war Russia started.
Deepest condolences. Eternal gratitude.

Friends, I need your support again!
Recently, my account has been repeatedly reported, and my posts have been blocked. Today, it happened again. One of my posts was labelled as “violent,” even though I don’t believe it violated any platform rules.
These restrictions are affecting my visibility and my ability to tell the world what is happening in Ukraine.
Please help me restore my reach! Like, comment, share this post, and help amplify my voice.
WE MUST NOT BE BROKEN!
This is how propaganda works: it tries to exhaust us, silence us, and eventually make us give up.
But we will not be silenced. We keep going!
Thank you to everyone who has supported me and helped spread the truth about Ukraine.
My head is pounding after all the travelling and endless air raid sirens, but I am still here, and I am still working.
And here’s a photo to help boost this post!
Have a lovely evening, everyone. Sending you all a big hug.

- Kyrylo Budanov 🇺🇦:
" The Russians are beginning to understand that their army is not that strong, that their air defense systems are not that good, and that the Russian army is actually not capable of protecting the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territory.
This is not at all the second army in the world, and not even the fourth. And the reckoning will come.”
“The understanding that there will be retribution comes to people when they personally begin to see and feel that the war is not somewhere in some part of the world, but on their own territory. Therefore, the turning point has already begun.”

Russians are losing....

Today, the UK government announced the allocation of an additional £10 billion in aid to Ukraine.
This British assistance does not simply help Ukraine continue its fight. It is an impulse of resilience at a time when the enemy is trying to force Ukraine to capitulate through terror against peaceful cities. This is support that truly saves Ukrainian lives.
I am grateful to Prime Minister @andyburnham , His Majesty's Government and all the people of the United Kingdom for their principled stance and concrete actions within the framework of our strategic partnership. Thank you for standing alongside Ukraine in the fight for freedom, security and a just peace🇬🇧🇺🇦
Never mistake Nordic restraint for weakness. 🇸🇪🇩🇰🇳🇴
In 1993, during the Bosnian War, a Nordic UN battalion showed the world what that meant.
NORDBAT 2, composed of Swedish, Danish and Norwegian forces, was led by Colonel Ulf Henricsson — better known as the Sheriff of Vareš.
While UN peacekeepers struggled with restrictive rules and bureaucracy, Henricsson had a rather straightforward philosophy:
Peacekeeping means protecting people. Not standing around watching them get killed.
His soldiers confronted militias, challenged roadblocks and refused to surrender civilians to armed groups.
Henricsson even reportedly began one negotiation by audibly loading the 20 mm autocannon of his armoured vehicle.
A remarkably effective way of establishing the seriousness of a conversation.
The Nordic countries are generally peaceful, pragmatic and diplomatic.
But peaceful should never be confused with harmless.
Sometimes the most effective way to keep the peace is to make it absolutely clear what happens if someone breaks it.
And sometimes the sheriff wears a blue helmet. 😎
"There’s no news about Patriot missiles, and frankly, nobody is even asking about production licenses for them anymore.
Interestingly enough, we were never granted licenses to produce these missiles because our "partners" in the US fear that if we scale up production, a bunch of countries will no longer depend on the US—and they can't let that happen at any cost!
Someone is terrified for their profits, while we're over here fearing for our lives.
Such is life." - Popular Ukrainian Blogger Associated with Air Defense's Vanek.
russia has made Ukraine the most heavily mined country on Earth, so of course the UN appoints a russian representative to oversee mine action.
UN-fit for purpose.
Oleshky:
The occupiers are clearing mines along the road to the city, and also: transporting military logistics, ammunition, and strengthening positions. Under the pretext of a ceasefire and a ban on reconnaissance flights….
Gregorian chant dedicated to Edmund the Martyr, Anglo-Saxon king of East Anglia who died fighting the pagans in 869. 🎶
He REFUSED the Vikings' demands to renounce Christ and was shot full of arrows.
This beautiful medieval chant was made in his honor!
So, do I correctly understand that Russian forces, who have been starving the population of Oleshky, are now taking them through ‘filtration’ camps where we know Russia has arbitrarily detained, subjected to torture and separated people from their children.
Putin satser på, at Ukraine kan knækkes. Trump gør hans opgave lettere.
Europas svar må være det modsatte: Flere våben, hårdere sanktioner og en klar vej til EU-medlemskab for Ukraine.
Halvhjertede løsninger og støtteerklæringer er ikke nok.

Der er simpelt hen så meget galt her.
1) Rusland er næppe enig i, at der ikke er udsigt til en militær løsning. Rusland ser nedslidning af os og Ukraine som en løsning
2) Man bør faktisk undgå dialog, hvis man ikke har noget at tilføre dialogen - tilbud eller trusler.

I warned in my article that civilians must be free to choose where they go. Having literally been down this road before, I know why that matters.
Lo and behold, the FT now reports evacuees will first be taken to occupied Crimea or Russia.
What guarantees do they have of reaching Ukrainian-controlled territory?
