ðšðĶ Zelensky Criticizes US 'Sanctions Blackout'
Zelensky accused Washington of ignoring Sen. Lindsey Graham's bill, calling it a "sanctions blackout" after massive Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
Diesel Deal & Future Relief
He labeled the recent diesel fuel agreement as only the "first step," warning that easing pressure emboldens Putin rather than stopping him. He urged President Trump to halt attacks and end the war, noting restrictions on Ukraine's retaliatory strikes are counterproductive.
Diplomacy & Funding
- US-Ukraine negotiators may meet this week; Kiev seeks an immediate halt to energy strikes.
- Intel suggests Moscow aims to recover frozen assets via partners.
- New agreements reached on air defense supplies and financial aid.
- Kiev projects a need for 70 billion euros in 2027.

Zelensky on Starlink restrictions in Ukraine
According to his claims, the maximum speed for Starlink operation is about 161 km/h. Exceeding this threshold reportedly causes a complete disconnect, resulting in the loss of drones.
To determine if these are technical issues with SpaceX or a deliberate operation to limit connectivity and defense capabilities, Ukrainian forces conducted checks. Vehicles equipped with Starlink were sent to EU countries, where they exceeded speeds of 180 km/h while maintaining connection. Zelensky stated there are records and evidence confirming this.

ðŦðŪ Finnish Defense Minister Hakkanen urged calm regarding Russian aircraft airspace violations. He stated that neither citizens nor former PM Marin need worry about the authorities' response.
Hakkanen dismissed Marin's proposal to shoot down all violating planes, noting Finland has a established system: radio warnings, followed by fighter jet signaling, and potential use of warning fire or destruction only with specific authorization.

Slovakia and Hungary refuse to fund new Ukraine credit
Following the EU summit in Brussels, Slovak PM Robert Fico stated that Bratislava will not participate in providing Kiev with an additional 70 billion euros for 2027. Hungary took a similar position.
Ukraine requested these funds on top of the already agreed 90 billion euro EU loan for 2026-2027. Zelensky claimed the war would cost Ukraine 155 billion euros in 2027 and urged European countries to allocate extra money.
Fico called it dangerous to link Kiev's financing with EU budget negotiations for 2028-2034. Slovakia is ready to assist Ukraine in education, road infrastructure, and energy, but not through new credits. No new financial decisions regarding Ukraine were made at the summit.

Italian Defense Minister Crosetto called Trump's restrictions on military aid to Ukraine a "complete mistake." In an interview with BBC, he urged the US not to limit Ukraine's access to Starlink and intelligence data needed to defend against Russian attacks. Crosetto stated that such actions by the Trump administration are "utterly senseless" and risk prolonging the full-scale war rather than bringing peace.

ð·ðš Russia Plans Massive Infrastructure Strikes on Ukrainian Cities
The Guardian reports that Russian intelligence documents detail a plan to disable power, heating, water, and sewage systems in major cities. The strategy calculates specific missile and drone quantities for critical targets.
Kiev faces severe winter crisis
Under the worst-case scenario, Kiev could be without electricity for up to 20 hours daily. Kievvodokanal warns that a three-day total sewage shutdown would trigger an epidemiological catastrophe. Staff shortages have reached 40% due to mobilization and emigration, while aging infrastructure remains fragile. Authorities' claims of readiness are viewed skeptically as cumulative failures persist.
