Musk Threatens To Cut Off Starlink For Ukraine If No Mineral Agreement Is Made
Harsh words about Ukraine (former) President Zelensky, have come from US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. According to Rubio, the US told Zelensky we have been helping his country battle Russia, but we need to get some of that back through a deal giving the US access to certain minerals, which would help "pay back" that help.
Zelensky allegedly agreed, but said he would have to run it past his Legislature. Then, according to Rubio, Zelensky went out in public and lied, telling the media he rejected the deal, and that Ukraine is not for sale. Bad move by Zelensky. Here's video of Rubio revealing what took place: https://rumble.com/v6nv0z9-rt-news-february-22-2025-0900-msk.html
Later, it came out that Ukraine may have already signed a deal to sell its minerals to BRITAIN! It now appears that our "ally" Britain may have negotiated re-imbursement from Ukraine long prior to the US doing so, but kept it all quiet!
Imagine this GULL: now the UK and Ukraine governments actually think America should provide combat troops and a security agreement to protect their corrupt lying asses!!
President Trump is so aggravated that he drove home the new reality with Zelensky and Ukraine, when he said to media "I'm fed up with Zelensky, I'm just tired of him."
So aggravated at Zelensky's behavior is the US, that word is now out the United States may CUT-OFF Ukraine's access to Elon Musk's STARLINK satellite internet network.
US negotiators pressing Kiev for access to Ukraine's critical minerals have raised the possibility of cutting the country's access to Elon Musk's vital Starlink satellite internet system, three sources say.
"Ukraine runs on Starlink. They consider it their North Star," said the source. "Losing Starlink … would be a massive blow." Starlink is literally the ONLY communications system keeping the Ukrainian Army functioning on the battlefield. If Starlink is cut-off, it is widely believed the Ukraine Army would completely collapse within days.
