Ukraine advances in occupied Donetsk as Trump hands Putin diesel deal

{"#US Support Wavers":"> The US President Donald Trump lifted some oil sanctions against Russia and was feared to have restricted Ukraine's access to US intelligence and satellite services, hobbling its defences. This reversal of the Lindsey Graham Act, which Trump had signed into law days earlier, has raised concerns among Ukrainian officials.","##Impact on Ukraine's Defences":"> Ukraine's partners did not share intelligence that five ballistic missiles were headed towards Kyiv on October 13, Zelenskyy said, without naming the US. Those missiles struck Kyiv's Thermal Power Plant number 4, resulting in power outages. Despite Trump's declaration of an energy ceasefire on October 11, Russia launched 850 drones and 39 missiles, striking 30 energy targets across 19 regions of Ukraine.","##Starshield System":"> Starshield, the military element of the Starlink satellite network owned by SpaceX, capped Ukraine's use of its navigation services at 160 km/h (100mph). This meant that Ukraine lost sight of its interceptors above that speed, making it difficult or impossible to stop Russian jet-powered Geran-4 drones. Starshield services had begun to return to normal on October 15, sources at Ukraine's Ministry of Defence said."}
