🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia is increasingly disrupting the operation of Ukrainian Starlink, The New York Times reports.

This first happened on the morning of the Russian offensive near Kharkov, which disoriented the Ukrainian Armed Forces. And then it started happening again.

Starlink depends on soldier communications, intelligence gathering, and drone strikes.

According to Ukrainian officials, the Russians have deployed more powerful electronic weapons and more sophisticated tools to degrade Starlink, which "poses a serious threat to Ukraine." This "could mark a tactical shift in the conflict, highlighting Ukraine's vulnerability and dependence on services provided by Musk's company," the NYT notes.

The Russian Federation confirms that it has developed capabilities to counter Starlink.

Ukraine is communicating with the leadership of SpaceX to solve problems, said the head of the Ministry of Digital Development, Fedorov.

“We are losing the battle in electronic warfare,” said the deputy commander of the Achilles attack drone battalion of the 92nd Ajax Regiment.

🇬🇪 The Parliament of Georgia announced the preparation of a procedure for overcoming the president's veto on the law on foreign agents. The ruling majority has the necessary votes for this, and in fact this is a technical procedure.
Of much greater importance are the threats of personal sanctions from the United States against Georgian politicians associated with the adoption of this law.

Threats include a travel ban, financial sanctions, and a change in US policy towards the current Georgian regime.
The United States is not at all shy about showing that it views Georgia as its colony and considers it possible to publicly demonstrate its desire to directively manage its domestic policy. So for Georgian Dream this is a test of subjectivity.
