US-Ukraine Relations Sour as Trump's Peace Push Stalls
Ukraine found this week that its access to Starshield, a U.S.-run satellite system, had been restricted. President Donald Trump also signaled he might cut off intelligence sharing.
Starshield is a SpaceX division operated by the U.S. government, Elon Musk says.
Trump declared an energy ceasefire earlier this week without warning either side.
Ukraine complied with the ceasefire; Russia did not, and Ukraine resumed strikes.
$185 billion has already been spent by the U.S. on Ukraine.
Why it matters: Trump has said the war is raising global energy prices and hurting the U.S. economy. The moves come as he presses for an end to the fighting.
U.S. intelligence on Russian targets helps Ukraine warn civilians before strikes.
Right coverage, 17 sources: The right-leaning libertarian read is that Putin, not Zelenskyy, is blocking peace, so the U.S. should keep sharing intelligence even without sending new aid.
