'A devious game by the U.S.': Romanenko discusses who ordered Starlink restrictions and Operation Vivaldi
Retired Lt. Gen. Ihor Romanenko discussed who in the U.S. ordered restrictions on Ukraine's Starlink access, whom Kyiv should work with to secure further military aid and what was lacking in Operation Vivaldi in an interview with Radio NV on Oct. 15.
Retired Lt. Gen. Ihor Romanenko spoke with Radio NV about the U.S.'s devious strategies regarding Ukraine's Starlink restrictions and Operation Vivaldi. He highlighted that Zelenskyy suggested Ukraine would resume attacks on Russian oil refineries, as the previous three days of restraint appeared to signal a ceasefire, which Trump announced but remained unconfirmed.
Romanenko emphasized the treacherous nature of Trump's tactics and suggested Ukraine should mirror his methods by considering a cessation of hostilities and targeting oil refineries, while also maintaining diplomatic efforts. The recent resumption of strikes, along with the limited intelligence sharing and Starlink disruptions, have negatively impacted Ukraine's military capabilities.
The Pentagon claimed no restrictions on Ukraine, but the U.S. appears to be intentionally worsening Ukraine's situation. Ukraine's victory in striking Borisoglebsk airfield, which houses Russian combat aircraft, would significantly reduce Russia's air power and decrease the danger to Ukrainian pilots. However, the delayed delivery of new fighter aircraft and the reliance on older aircraft necessitate urgent upgrades to enhance effectiveness.
The British government's accelerated delivery of LMM air defense missiles to Ukraine showcases the genuine support of British allies, contrasting with the U.S.'s limited assistance.
