‘We’re done’: Ukraine resumes strikes on Russian oil refineries as anger at Trump mounts
Satellite internet functionality via Starshield — the military version of the SpaceX service in Ukraine — has resumed at previous speeds for the moment, according to Ukraine.

What the coverage shows
All six outlets center on Elon Musk saying any slowdown in Ukraine’s Starlink or Starshield service is for the US government, not SpaceX, to answer for. CNBC is the clearest on the chain of responsibility, quoting Musk that limits are decided by the US military and “ultimately POTUS,” while France 24’s extracts also stress Ukraine’s reliance on the system. Fox News and Axios frame the story more as a dispute or retaliation question, and The Independent uniquely foregrounds Trump in the headline.
