It's not just about armaments.
Europe needs immediately to accelerate its own Low Earth Satellite Communication System so not to depend on the whims of Musk and Trump.
What if Europe is attacked and those two decide they'd get more money from Russia and shut down Starshield?
On October 16, 2019, I told Donald Trump, “With you, Mr. President, all roads lead to Putin.”
On October 16, 2026, Trump signed an executive order waiving new sanctions on Russia passed by bipartisan majorities in Congress and signed into law just last month.
This decision insults America’s commitment to democracy and our brave men and women in uniform, as Russia helps Iran target American forces.
I join Republican senators in condemning this unconscionable capitulation to a Russian dictator who illegally invaded Ukraine and butchers innocent civilians.
As I have asked for years: What does Putin have on Trump that he would sell out America’s values?
The Telegraph reports that Elon Musk himself approached Trump with the idea of restricting Starlink in Ukraine, and Trump agreed.
Despite publicly blaming the Trump administration, Musk was reportedly the one who initiated the move, which hampered Ukraine’s military operations against Russia.
EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk approached Donald Trump with the idea of slowing down Starlink in Ukraine, The Telegraph can reveal.
The billionaire tech entrepreneur approached the US president with the proposal to introduce speed limits on the system, which hampered Ukraine’s drone defences, according to four sources familiar with the discussions.

Complicity in Slaughter: Outrage Explodes as Reports Link Musk and Trump to Ukraine Drone Shield Crippling
Demands are rapidly intensifying for Donald Trump and far-right disinformation propagandist Elon Musk to face international war crimes charges following a catastrophic disruption to Ukraine's frontline defenses.
A devastating exposé by The Telegraph, citing four anonymous sources, reveals a shocking level of complicity: it was Elon Musk who personally approached Donald Trump with the proposal to throttle Starshield — the military-grade version of his Starlink satellite network. Trump reportedly agreed to the scheme.
By deliberately crippling Ukraine's drone defense systems, this calculated move effectively disabled the country's shield against Russian aggression. The sabotage directly allowed Vladimir Putin's forces to rain lethal drone strikes down upon undefended cities, resulting in the brutal slaughter of innocent Ukrainian men, women, and children.
Critics and legal experts argue that by actively interfering with military infrastructure to benefit an invading, authoritarian Apparatchik force, both figures have crossed the line from political interference into direct complicity in war crimes.
@RpsAgainstTrump Europe must react immediately to the unreliability of Starlink and consider secure alternatives to a system subject to the whims of a single individual.
I’m leading 12 of my colleagues demanding that Trump rescind the disastrous Russian diesel deal. It betrays American security interests & brave Ukrainians fighting Putin's bloody slaughter.
