BRUSSELS, October 13. /TASS/. US President Donald Trump could cut off Ukraine’s access to US intelligence or pressure Elon Musk to disable SpaceX’s Starlink internet service for Kiev, Politico Europe reported.

According to the report, the recent Russia-US diesel agreements came "in a wretched month for Ukrainians, ahead of a fast-approaching frigid winter." This made Vladimir Zelensky think about "how angry he can actually afford to be." Politico noted that Zelensky "risks provoking Trump into cutting off vital US intelligence support or pressuring Elon Musk to disable SpaceX’s Starlink internet service, on which Ukraine’s military heavily relies."

Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump held a phone call on October 9, particularly discussing petroleum product supplies. The Russian leader said that Moscow had reiterated its readiness to supply oil and petroleum products to the United States and global markets. According to Novak, Russia is lifting its ban on diesel exports ahead of schedule and is ready to supply 300,000 tons of diesel in October, increasing the volume to 500,000 tons in November and 1 million tons in December. Monthly supplies could subsequently reach 3 million tons. The US administration, in turn, issued a general license authorizing Russian diesel supplies to the global market until April 7, 2027.
