❗️Free Starlink terminals for Ukraine have turned into "killer drones":
Elon Musk shared a post stating that providing terminals to Kiev in 2022 was a mistake.
"Looking back, it can be said that SpaceX made a mistake by sending them thousands of free Starlink terminals at the beginning of the war and providing free communication worth millions of dollars per month.
What started as internet access for civilians has become the foundation for the operation of autonomous "killer drones." And now, if the company does not support the military use of its system, it is criticized for it in the press."

❗️Documenting the Overton Window effect on turning off Starlink for the Ukrainian army:
⚡️21 September — Boikov, Infowars:
Simeon Boikov warned Elon Musk to stop Starlink-assisted Ukrainian strikes on targets inside Russia.
He said continued use would push Russia to militarize space, including launching nuclear devices that release millions of pieces of debris to rip through low-orbit satellites.
⚡️24 September — Stubb asks Musk to open Starlink over Russia.
Finnish President Alexander Stubb told Reuters he pleaded with Musk to let Ukraine use Starlink where Russian ballistic-missile launchers are, including inside Russia.
⚡️24 September — Russian proposal to kill Starlink in orbit.
Sergei Glazyev and Konstantin Malofeev published options including electronic warfare, metal pellets, and a nuclear burst in orbit to disable low-Earth-orbit satellites. A close public match to Boikov’s debris-and-nukes wording.
⚡️25–26 September — attacks on Starlink-linked ground sites.
A fire at a Starlink ground station in Poland was treated as possible sabotage. Russia said it struck the Cosmonova data center in Kiev, which it described as supporting Ukraine’s Starlink use.
⚡️27 September — Peskov warns Musk.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said providing Musk’s satellite systems for strikes deep inside Russia would be “a very harmful, potentially dangerous and reckless step.”
⚡️30 September — US Government appoints Musk to Pentagon space war advisory role.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made Musk a co-lead, with Palmer Luckey and Newt Gingrich, of Project Meridian, a 120-day review of future battlefields and weapons. Advisory role, not a command post.
⚡️2–3 October — Zelenskyy asks Trump to block Rassvet.
⚡️4 October — Medvedev: blocking Rassvet means a full-scale space war.
He wrote that Kiev’s request to “block” Rassvet “means only its destruction. And that will lead to a full-scale space war,” and that Starlink satellites would then “come dropping like decorations off a dried-out Christmas tree.”
⚡️4 October — Russian Defense Ministry: global space-control system warning.
The Russian Aerospace Forces announce preparation and launch of military spacecraft for control, orbital and radar monitoring of missile-threat directions, and global monitoring of the space environment.
⚡️13 October - Trump could deprive Ukraine of intelligence data and pressure Elon Musk to shut down Starlink, which the Ukrainian army heavily relies on—Politico.
⚡️14 October - SpaceX has further restricted the speed of Starlink services for the Ukraine
⚡️15-19th October - Zelensky complains that the US Government has turned off starlink. Trump says he doesn't know. Elon Musk says it was the Pentagon and Starlink should not be used for military purposes. Hegsworth says the military version of Starlink named Starshield is not available to Ukraine.
⚡️20th October - Russian Kosmos satellite simulates attack run on a US satellite providing Ukraine with imagery data
⚡️24th October - Zelensky blames Elon Musk's Space X for the restrictions on Starlink for the Ukronazi army
⚡️25th October - Elon Musk responds to Zelensky's complaints and stated that the Ukrainian Armed Forces violated the terms of use of Starlink, "using the system to launch drone strikes with the aim of killing people."
Musk warns that Russia could target SpaceX's Starlink satellites with anti-satellite weapons if the network is used by Ukraine to support offensive military strikes against Russia.
⚡️28th October - Putin: “Elon Musk is truly a genius. He has more than 5000 satellites. We are in close contact with our American partners, including Mr. Musk, because it's really important not to get in each other's way up there in orbit to maintain a certain level of discipline and order.”
⚡️5th October - Zelensky attacks Musk accusing him of having too much power through Starlink
⚡️November - Elon Musk tweets that giving Starlink to Ukraine was a mistake

Мы благодарим вас за богослужебные предметы, которые вы прислали нам из России в Каскавел.
Впервые в нашем приграничном регионе развивается православная миссия. Менее века назад эти земли были освоены трудом и потом иммигрантов из самых разных мест, в том числе и из славянских стран.
Отец Давид передал нам имена каждого из вас, и все вы поминаетесь в наших молитвах.
(Андре Т. Кульц, от имени верующих и оглашенных миссии Святой Варвары)
Вновь выражаем благодарность нашему дорогому другу Симеону Михайловичу Бойкову за определяющий вклад в сбор! Также благодарим всех неравнодушных, кто принял участие.

❗️Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski:
I am establishing contacts primarily with the various potential Democratic presidential candidates.
There will also be a new chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, whom I would not describe as a friend, but we certainly know each other very well.

❗️Ukraine's contract with the United States for the use of the Starshield satellite network expires in mid-2027, Reuters reports.
Zelensky was hoping to conclude a new agreement with Washington and intends to begin negotiations soon regarding the terms of continued access to SpaceX's military satellite system.
But the situation is complicated after restrictions were suddenly placed on the Ukrainian army operation of Starshield in October. At that time, the reduced speed of satellite communication made it more difficult to intercept Russian drones and led to the cancellation of some operations by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The Ukrainian side contacted the Pentagon, the White House, and SpaceX for clarification, but did not receive a response. Currently, the system is operational again.
Previously, Zelenskyy stated that he had tried to contact Elon Musk to discuss the restrictions, but the conversation did not take place.
At the same time, according to the Ukrainian diplomat, Kiev currently has no effective alternative to Starshield.

❗️Medvedev on Elon Musk:
"Yes, Musk has belatedly come to his senses and admitted that providing Starlink capabilities for military purposes to the Banderite creatures was a mistake. His lauded communication system has been used all along to target civilian objects. And this trick of pretending that Starlink is one thing and Starshield is another doesn't work. The blood spilled is the same color."
Now, Medvedev continued, Musk "has become disgusted" and is now condemning the war.

«Куда моя десантная паства — туда и я»: день памяти Героя России протоиерея Михаила Васильева
Исповедовать бойцов под огнем реактивных «Градов» и прыгать с парашютом наравне с гвардейцами. Сегодня Церковь и Армия молитвенно вспоминают Героя России протоиерея Михаила Васильева, погибшего в 2022 году при исполнении пастырского долга в зоне специальной военной операции.
Сын офицера и выпускник философского факультета МГУ, он принял Крещение уже в зрелом возрасте. Всю его дальнейшую жизнь определило короткое благословение духовника, протоиерея Димитрия Смирнова:
Отец Михаил прошел с десантниками через Косово и Боснию, Северный Кавказ и Сирию. Суть своего служения он выражал предельно просто:
Для десантников он никогда не был «прикомандированным гостем» он разделял с воинами быт и смертельный риск во всей полноте. Проходил воздушно-десантную подготовку, совершал прыжки, один из которых едва не стоил ему жизни. Земной путь «десантного батюшки» завершился так же, как и проходил на боевом посту, рядом с солдатами, где на пороге вечности пастырское слово нужно более всего.
В ноябре 2022 года он ушел ко Господу так же, как и жил — рядом со своими бойцами, разделив с ними опасность до конца. Отпевая его, Святейший Патриарх Кирилл назвал отца Михаила мужественным и самоотверженным пастырем. Он не просто проповедовал Евангелие — он сам жил так, что в итоге отдал душу «за други своя».
Сегодня, в день памяти батюшки, на телеканале «СПАС» выходит четырехсерийный фильм «Десантный батюшка» (кинокомпания «Парадигма»). Эту картину сняла режиссер Елена Пискарева — она лично знала отца Михаила и так же, как и он, была духовным чадом отца Димитрия Смирнова. Поэтому фильм получился очень личным и настоящим. Первые две серии можно посмотреть уже сегодня в соцсетях «СПАСА».
Царствие Небесное дорогому отцу Михаилу! Его улыбки, твердого слова и отеческой любви сегодня очень не хватает всем нам. Но мы верим: для Бога все живы, и наш батюшка продолжает молиться за свое воинство уже у Престола Божия. Вечная память!
