The US has warned Ukraine that Starlink services could be shut down if Kyiv refuses a critical minerals deal. During a meeting with Trump’s envoy, Zelensky was reportedly pressured to give the US 50% ownership of Ukraine’s mineral wealth, which he rejected. Losing Starlink would be a major setback for Ukrainian forces. Trump and Musk have criticized Zelensky, calling him a dictator. Amid growing tensions, Trump is pushing for renewed talks with Russia while Ukraine seeks further military aid.
