What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Russian missile and drone strikes hit critical energy infrastructure in Kyiv and Kharkiv, leaving at least 600,000 people without electricity, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Separately, Elon Musk's SpaceX implemented speed restrictions on Starlink terminals, setting the limit at 100mph. These restrictions have resulted in the disruption of several Ukrainian battlefield missions and UAV operations.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Starlink provides vital communication and guidance infrastructure essential for Kyiv's military defense. The speed limits directly impact the Armed Forces of Ukraine's combat capability, as analysts state that UAVs cannot receive timely information or change course quickly.

G7 leaders are currently addressing global security issues, including concerns over Iran's nuclear program and challenges from China in the Indo-Pacific.
