Starshield Is Controlled By…

Apparently not controlled by Trump. Speaking of Ukraine and not controlled by Trump….
Ukraine’s Starshield access was still limited Friday despite President Donald J. Trump saying Musk restored it, according to the Wall Street Journal. U.S. officials told the Journal President Trump called Musk Wednesday and asked him to lift the restriction. Trump told reporters Thursday: “I don’t want to comment on it, whether I called, or whether somebody else called. The bottom line, he put it back.”

Ukrainian accounts are mixed. Some units tested drones at 200 km/h Thursday, mostly near the Black Sea, but late Thursday and overnight most of the military reported connections failing again above about 161 km/h. Zelenskyy’s spokesman Dmytro Lytvyn wrote, “We see the same limit. So as for now—nothing has changed.” A Zaporizhzhia pilot said failures are now random, and five of ten drones were lost on one mission Thursday night.
According to a release from the office of First Lady Melania Trump, she and her team have secured a localized ceasefire for the city of Oleshky in Ukraine between Ukraine and Russia. Per the release, technical teams between the U.S., Ukraine, and Russia have worked to facilitate the safe evacuation of remaining civilians, primarily the elderly, between October 29 and a yet unspecified date. In addition the this, an impartial team of U.S. media will document the ongoing venture and both Ukrainian and Russian non-military personnel will work with residents to facilitate the evacuation.
Reuters confirms, in part:
Ukraine's top negotiator David Arakhamia said on Telegram a ceasefire ​would be established in Oleshky soon, as would an operation to establish permanent humanitarian corridors ⁠for evacuations and food deliveries.

He did not provide additional details on the operation.

Russia did not immediately confirm the ceasefire.

The ​Kremlin said earlier this week that work was underway to ease the humanitarian situation in Oleshky after Russian President Vladimir ​Putin told Pope Leo he was ready to cooperate on the issue.
Yeah, what are those two clowns doing?
