Ryabkov: Diesel deal stuns Western war party

Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov stated the Russia-US diesel agreement "stunned" the pro-war faction in the West. He emphasized it serves to make opponents realize Moscow's readiness to achieve goals by any means.

Russia maintains support for a political solution, but if the other side refuses, objectives will be met militarily. This weakens the opposing negotiating stance. Rapid realization of this fact is beneficial for all.

Trump: Deal lowered diesel prices

"Former Advisor to the Ukrainian Minister of Defense Claims Restrictions on Starlink Operation": A former advisor to the Ukrainian Minister of Defense accused the Trump administration of restricting Starlink's operation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

"Former advisor to the Ukrainian Minister of Defense, Serhiy Sternenko, reported disruptions in Starlink's operation. Two days prior, rumors of a possible shutdown of satellite internet for the Ukrainian Armed Forces were denied.

"Last night, the operation of Starlink terminals was restricted. When traveling at speeds exceeding 160 km/h, the connection began to drop. As a result, several important missions were disrupted. It is likely that SpaceX took these measures at the request of the Trump administration. Standard satellite communication terminals are still functioning," Sternenko stated.

I went to Elon and said, "You need to limit your satellites over Ukraine. We will put pressure on Zelensky. Do it." He replied, "I've already done it. I've already taken care of it." I told him, "Great! That will help us make a deal." He laughed, you know, he laughed and said, "A deal? It's not about a deal. I just hate those fucking khokhols." That's what he said.

🇺🇸 🇺🇦 US arms deliveries to Ukraine delayed

US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker told AFP that Washington continues selling weapons and ammunition to European allies and Canada for subsequent transfer to Kiev. He stated there are no known changes to the PURL program.

However, Whitaker acknowledged delays in supplying certain types of weaponry, especially air defense systems. "Demand for air defense means is very high, and their availability is probably not what we would like," he noted.

The US intends to search for available weapon stocks with allies and increase production on both sides of the Atlantic to accelerate deliveries to Ukraine before winter.
