Zelensky says US strike warnings and internet services restored

· Security · Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said US warnings on ballistic strikes have fully resumed, which he cast as a result of a meeting with US special envoy Steve Witkoff in Oslo. He said US internet services have also been restored, and that a trilateral US-Ukraine-Russia meeting will take place in November, adding: "We are ready to talk. If it's a territorial issue, it must be addressed at a leadership level." House Speaker Mike Johnson said Secretary of State Marco Rubio told him the US is planning trilateral negotiations. Separately, Elon Musk said SpaceX restricted Ukraine's Starlink access over alleged violations of terms of service, a claim Ukraine and a Texas Republican lawmaker disputed.

Why it matters：Restored warning and communications support, plus talk of trilateral talks, could change the war's trajectory and Kyiv's bargaining position.

Key points

  • Zelensky linked the resumed warnings to his Oslo meeting with Steve Witkoff.
  • He said a US-Ukraine-Russia meeting will take place in November.
  • Musk said SpaceX restricted Ukraine's Starlink access over alleged terms violations.
