Drones are now our main weapon,
and it's a main weapon everywhere on the battlefield, first of all,
and drones are also the backbone of our frontline logistics.
And unfortunately, we still face speed restrictions on Starlink
and Starshield services in different parts of the front,
and we still have no explanation for this.
The fact is that Starlink, Starshield services,
shut off at speed 100 miles per hour.
And this is very bad.
And it undermines our frontline logistics, our mid-range strikes.
All of this is happening on Ukrainian territory.
And also our ability to defend against Russian, Iranian, Shahid drones.
Our other partners, including those in Europe, are also waiting
for American approval to transfer Patriot interceptors
from their shelters, European shelters, to us.
So, the missiles are ready, and they could already be in Ukraine,
and we are grateful to America
and to our partners for their willingness to help,
but unfortunately there is still no approval.
All of this suggests that some political decision has
been made to slow down support for us.
