> Finnish President Alexander Stubb appealed to Elon Musk to expand Starlink coverage so Ukraine could use the service in Russian areas where ballistic missile launchers are located and launch strikes deep inside Russia. Stubb also said Ukraine urgently needs air defenses, winter power-generation facilities and financial aid. Zelensky has repeatedly sought permission, while Trump has given no clear answer.
