Russia’s 800,000-strong force lost a key battlefield communications channel following a Starlink disruption, leaving units struggling to coordinate drone feeds and targeting data. Ukraine quickly seized the opportunity, launching counterattacks and gaining ground.

The only comment I have on the Rubio speech is that I don’t want to spend too much time on the Rubio speech.
Nothing is changing with regards to US policy. We don’t need to do a line-by-line analysis.

Phillips O’Brien on Rubio’s speech: β€œIf Europeans were reassured by this speech and believe it means that the US remains committed to European freedom or defense against Russia, they will get everything (they) deserve.”

Odesa UPD

A terrible sight. Locals claim a drone was NOT shot down, it did not deviate its course, it flew deliberately into a housing complex, known as "Chudo Gorod" (Miracle City)

FT: 'Officials believe that the likely interceptions, which have not previously been reported, risk not only compromising sensitive information transmitted by the satellites but could also allow Moscow to manipulate their trajectories or even crash them.'
