  "account": "Ukraine has accused the United States of indirectly aiding Russia by not warning Kyiv of an imminent missile attack and limiting satellite internet access for its military. President Volodymyr Zelensky appealed to US billionaire Elon Musk to reinstate Starlink services, stating that changes to the system had diminished his forces' capability to swiftly respond to threats. Former Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov confirmed that Starlink operations were recovering at speeds up to 160 kilometres per hour. Musk denied any responsibility for the restrictions, stating that decisions regarding military satellite services are made by the US government. Zelensky expressed disappointment with Trump, accusing him of siding with Russia rather than Ukraine. The US had previously threatened to suspend intelligence-sharing on Russian missile launches, which Ukraine relies on for defense. Ukrainian officials alleged that Washington was also responsible for a slowdown affecting some internet terminals used by troops, hindering their ability to support attacks on Russian-occupied areas and operate interceptor drones.",
