Olga Lautman's Substack article reports that Ukraine's Starshield drone defenses were restricted for the second time in under a month just as Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner held talks with Russia in Abu Dhabi and then Moscow, while Russian drone and missile strikes knocked out power across eight Ukrainian regions. She links the throttling — which Zelenskyy says capped Starshield at 100 mph and which a Ukrainian official says degraded missions from 10% to total failure — to Trump's pressure on Ukraine to cede territory, noting that Senators Shaheen and Tillis and the Congressional Ukraine Caucus are demanding an investigation into who authorized it.
