> Finnish President Alexander Stubb has urged Elon Musk to expand Starlink coverage so Ukraine could use it to strike ballistic-missile launchers in occupied Ukrainian territory or Russia. Stubb said Ukraine is struggling more to repel Russian attacks as winter nears because it lacks air-defense systems, and needs air defenses, energy infrastructure, and money.
