STARLINK AS A CASUS BELLI. WHY ARE THE DEMOCRATS REALLY GOING AFTER MUSK? | 23.10.2026
- It's possible to wonder indefinitely why Trump turned OFF Zelensky's [murderous] Starlink and then turned it back ON.
- What is clear is that by using a leash thrown over Ukraine from near space, the US president was solving a tactical task that he understood. Both in the context of negotiations and in the context of the midterm elections. It is precisely the domestic political consequences of this decision that may be most important for Trump. The Democrats, sensing blood, are throwing all their forces to turn the scandal at the end of the campaign into either an October surprise or a "black swan". Senator Adam Schiff has already demanded that the billionaire testify in the Senate.

The survivors of the deadly Ukrainian drone attack on the Starobelsk college in May have spoken to RT about the emotional scars left behind by the tragedy that killed 21 students in their sleep.
Multiple waves of kamikaze UAVs struck the dormitory of the Starobelsk Professional College, located in Russia’s Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR), on May 22.
The building partially collapsed as a result of the strikes, killing 21 people and injuring 42 others, mostly teenage girls studying to become teachers. The Ukrainian military subsequently targeted first responders with additional drones, according to investigators.
Twenty students who survived the attack on the dormitory that fateful night came to Moscow on Wednesday at the invitation of Russia’s Commissioner for Human Rights Yana Lantratova.

Lantratova and the students discussed their professional aspirations, with the official noting that some of them have already become volunteers in various projects. She also said that the human rights commission’s doors are open to survivors wishing to undertake an internship there. The official gifted a bus to the college as well as tablet computers to its students.
Speaking to RT, one of the survivors recounted how she took cover in the basement on the night of the attack and “ended up getting buried under the debris.” Acting on “autopilot,” she extricated herself from the rubble and ran for her life. The student said that in the wake of the tragic incident, she “started to be afraid of everything, even the slightest rustle.”
“Especially during the first week, it was absolutely terrifying. I was afraid of every single loud noise,” the survivor told RT.
Another student shared a similar experience of lingering trauma, saying that following the attack, “any loud noise, even just something falling was terrifying. My heart would immediately start pounding violently.”
President Vladimir Putin vowed “inevitable punishment” for the Starobelsk massacre, and several days later, Russia launched one of its largest retaliatory drone and missile strikes, targeting Ukrainian military command facilities, air bases, and defense industry enterprises.

STAROBILSK. Children should not die
On the night of May 22, 2026, students at a college in Starobelsk, LPR, shouted: ‘Why are they doing this to us? We’re just kids!’
This film chronicles a drone attack during which the Ukrainian Armed Forces killed sleeping students in cold blood. Twenty-one people died and several dozen were injured. These young people had dreamed of becoming teachers and working in schools. Some were even already planning their weddings. But their dreams were buried beneath the rubble.
The film crew visited what remained of the dormitory building, along with the students and teachers who survived. Their aim was to piece together every detail of those horrific events. Among them was Elena Yuryeva, a teacher who saved more than 30 injured students by leading them out of the dorm.
The drone raid launched by the Kiev regime in Starobelsk claimed the lives of innocent teens. Their deaths are a tragedy for their parents, as well as the teachers who had to identify their students’ bodies. The survivors are left with harrowing memories. The terrorist attack has inflicted immense pain on the city and all of Russia.

Musk shuts Starlink ‘loophole’ that let Kiev ‘kill people’
Published 24 Oct, 2026 22:24 | Updated 24 Oct, 2026 22:34
SpaceX has closed a “loophole” that allowed the Ukrainian military to use the civilian satellite internet network for offensive drone strikes, Elon Musk has announced, telling warmongers who prolong the conflict to “burn in hell.”
The billionaire’s harsh remarks on Saturday come amid a deepening rift between Washington and Kiev, with US President Donald Trump accusing Vladimir Zelensky of repeatedly rejecting opportunities to end the conflict and worsening global fuel shortages by attacking Russian oil infrastructure.
“Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be,” Musk wrote on X. “Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.”
The SpaceX CEO distinguished the commercial Starlink network from Starshield, a separate military-grade system controlled by the US government. “What they decide to do is up to them,” he said.
Musk concluded with a blistering attack on unnamed “warmongers” who keep pushing for war. His criticism echoes Trump’s increasingly harsh rhetoric toward Zelensky, whom the US president has accused of squandering numerous opportunities to negotiate an end to the fighting.
“I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell,” - Musk wrote.
The comments follow days of controversy over restrictions imposed on satellite services used by Ukrainian forces. Kiev claimed the slowdown had disrupted drone operations and initially suggested that Washington was responsible.
Trump denied that his administration had ordered the restrictions. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also rejected allegations of US government involvement, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Kiev against escalating the dispute.
Musk stressed that Starlink remains essential to Ukraine’s military communications and battlefield survival. “Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately,” he wrote, adding that the statement was “NOT a threat” but an assessment of the military’s dependence on the network.
On Saturday, Kiev announced that Starlink and Starshield had returned to their previous operating speeds, with Ukrainian officials thanking Trump and other American representatives for helping resolve the disruption.
Earlier this month, the SpaceX chief declared that “Zelensky has gone too far” after the Ukrainian leader called Trump’s deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to ease the global diesel crisis a “weak decision.”
Musk has also accused Ukrainian elites of enriching themselves through Western assistance while ordinary Ukrainians are sent to die on the battlefield. He further alleged that some American taxpayer money sent to Ukraine was being laundered back into US political campaigns.
