Ukraine's growing tensions with President Donald Trump have taken a turn over restrictions on Starlink satellite communications, which disrupted military operations and prompted Ukrainian officials to question whether the White House was deliberately pressuring President Volodymyr Zelensky as Washington pursues closer economic ties with Russia.
According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, the crisis began early Wednesday when Denys Sienik, Ukraine's top diplomat in Washington, urgently contacted U.S. lawmakers to warn that restrictions had been imposed on military-grade Starlink terminals without explanation.
