President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a conversation with the Minister of Defense regarding army provision. The predictable and sufficient supply of drones and other equipment was discussed.
Russians have begun urgent deliveries of satellite Internet terminals to the front for the occupiers. This will replace Starlink, using Russian providers based on Yamal and Express satellites.
Russian troops are looking for ways to activate Starlink terminals, involving third parties to register equipment in Ukrainian ASCs. Advisor to the Minister of Defense Serhiy Beskrestnov stated that all these Starlinks will be blocked, and those involved will face imprisonment.
Russian troops are trying to establish communication without Starlink, testing Wi-Fi bridges, LTE, and Yamal and Express satellite internet. The most difficult remains communication at the front line and for mobile UAV crews.
The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has simplified the procedure for verifying Starlink terminals in the DELTA system for military personnel. Now, every DELTA user can independently enter information about the terminal, which will speed up equipment confirmation.
A massive Starlink failure in the occupied territories of Ukraine caused panic among Russian units. Troop command was paralyzed, leading to a "friendly fire" incident in the Zaporizhzhia direction, where a 12-person assault group was killed.
The Institute for the Study of War reports that blocking Starlink terminals for Russians will affect their attempts to strike Ukrainian logistics. SpaceX blocked the terminals at the request of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine after they were found on Russian drones.
The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine clarified the Starlink verification procedure through SpaceX's "whitelist. " Terminals included in the list operate without restrictions, while those used by Russians are blocked.
Chinese scientists have developed the TPG1000Cs device, capable of generating 20 gigawatts of power for a minute. This weapon can damage Starlink satellites and other electronics in low Earth orbit.
Starlink terminals on the "whitelist" are working, while Russian terminals are blocked. This led to a catastrophe in the enemy's troop management and a halt to assault operations, said "Flash," an advisor to the Minister of Defense.
Elon Musk emphasized the importance of registering Starlink terminals in Ukraine. This is due to the verification of terminals for defense purposes and to prevent their use by Russians.

Ukraine is implementing a "whitelist" for Starlink terminals to prevent their unauthorized use by Russians. Only verified and registered devices will work, while others will be disconnected.
Elon Musk plans to merge SpaceX and xAI to create a technology giant. This merger precedes a massive IPO, which could be the largest in stock market history.
Ukraine is introducing Starlink terminal registration via a "whitelist" to counter their use by Russians. The registration process for civilians will be simple, and a separate secure channel will be available for the military.
In Kostiantynivka, Donetsk region, a border guard operating an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) evacuated a wounded UAV pilot from the 36th Separate Marine Brigade. The soldier sustained leg injuries and was transported using a ground robotic complex.
Unverified Starlink terminals will soon cease to operate in Ukraine. Instructions for quick and easy registration will be published for Ukrainian users.
Elon Musk stated that the restrictions imposed on the use of Starlink by Russian military personnel have already yielded results. Ukraine's Minister of Defense Mykhailo Fedorov confirmed the practical results and emphasized close cooperation.
