Kiev wants to use Starlink to hunt missiles inside Russia. Trump gives green light, but Musk blocks everything

Ukraine is trying to get authorization to use SpaceX's Starlink satellite network to operate drones against Russian ballistic missile launchers inside Russian territory. The White House, under the Trump administration, is said to have given the green light to this request, but the decision ended up being referred to SpaceX, which in turn points back to Washington. At the center of the impasse is Elon Musk, who refuses to allow this use because he considers it would represent an "escalation" of the conflict, maintaining his position against the use of the Starlink network for attacks inside Russian territory.

Europeans protest against Russia's presence at G20 meeting in US, which attempts to use the gathering to expand Iran's isolation

The opening of the G20 finance ministers' meeting in Asheville, in the US, was marked by friction between American hosts and European allies after last-minute confirmation of Russian representative Anton Siluanov's participation. Western delegations that support Ukraine protested against the Russian presence, threatening to compromise the event, which the US government wanted to use to convince countries to join its economic war against Iran. The main European capitals have supported Kyiv since the beginning of the Russian invasion in February 2022, working to isolate Moscow economically and politically, and do not want to show any change in position, especially at a time when Russian forces are intensifying bombings on Kyiv. The American invitation to Siluanov was considered a major embarrassment by European delegations.
