⚡️🇺🇸🇺🇦 — Barak Ravid reports conflicting accounts of Ukraine’s access to Starshield: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the military-grade system is not currently available to Kyiv, while Ukrainian officials said Pentagon-mediated access continued until restrictions were imposed days earlier.

Rubio distinguished Starshield, a US military system contracted by American forces, from commercial Starlink, confirming Ukraine had specifically requested Starshield for deep strikes inside Russia and discussions were ongoing.

➡️ Recent temporary satellite-service restrictions affecting Ukrainian drone guidance around October 13–15 were attributed by Ukrainian sources to White House pressure, while Rubio described the Starlink disruption as unintentional and resolved.

➡️ Separately, Zelensky spoke by phone Sunday with Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, according to a source cited by Ravid.
