Zelenskyy Accuses US of Starlink Restrictions Amid Russian Drone Barrage, Vows to Resume Refinery Strikes

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused the United States of indirectly aiding Russia by failing to warn Kyiv of an impending missile barrage and restricting Starlink satellite internet services used by its military. He warned that disrupted communications weakened Ukraine's air defenses and cost civilian lives. Zelenskyy also stated that Ukraine would resume strikes on Russian oil refineries. This comes as Russian forces launched at least 269 drones against Ukraine overnight and throughout Wednesday, October 14, killing six people and injuring 13 in Lutsk, and an "intense" Russian assault on Kropyvnytskyi overnight on October 14-15 killed at least three and injured six.
