Zelenskiy’s plea for Starlink

In Pryluky, he pressed the US to give Ukraine wider use of the Starlink satellite network. That, he said, would help his troops strike Russian launchers for ballistic missiles. “Open Starlink for Ukraine,” he said. The US did so for Iran, he argued. Then, he said, Putin would come to the negotiating table.
