Zelenskyy thanks Trump for resumed intelligence sharing after US Starlink ‘message’

“It was blocked for some period of time. And then it was deblocked by the American side. We are very thankful for this.

Donald Trump has denied that his administration has cut intelligence sharing with Ukraine. Zelenskyy also indicated that the US was continuing to share intelligence with Ukraine in an interview with NPR aired on Wednesday, but confirmed that military advisers had received threats from the US that intelligence sharing could be limited… 

 SpaceX did not confirm any changes to Starlink’s functionality and it was not immediately clear why the restrictions had been put in place. Terminals travelling at more than 100mph and using a version of Starlink for the military and other national security agencies suddenly lost connectivity, said Serhiy Beskrestnov, in what appeared to be a targeted outage meant to disrupt military operations…

‘Largely slop’: Trump’s new counterterrorism strategy is scant on substance but heavy on enemies

It makes no mention of far-right or white supremacist ideology, which has consistently been behind incidents of domestic political violence, but singles out “radically pro-transgender” and “anti-American” ideology for “neutralization”. It claims immigration has turned Europe into an “incubator of terror threats” and called on European allies to “halt its willful decline”. And it accuses past administrations of having “weaponized” the intelligence community, pledging to keep the intelligence apparatus from being used as a political tool “against innocent Americans” even as it outlines a plan that appears to do exactly that…
