...It Sure Would Be A Shame If Anything Were To Happen To It.
WASHINGTON, Feb 21 (Reuters) - U.S. negotiators pressing Kyiv for access to Ukraine's critical minerals have raised the possibility of cutting the country's access to Elon Musk's vital Starlink satellite internet system, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters...

...Melinda Haring, a senior fellow with the Atlantic Council, said Starlink was essential for Ukraine’s operation of drones, a key pillar of its military strategy.
“Losing Starlink would be a game changer,” Haring said, noting that Ukraine was now at 1:1 parity with Russia in terms of drone usage and artillery shells. Ukraine has a wide range of different drone capabilities, ranging from sea drones and surveillance drones to long-range unmanned aerial vehicles...

The American negotiators are nothing more than war criminals and should be treated as such.
The problem with the rare earth(and oil) mineral deal is...VZ would make a long term deal to sell US rare earths n oil at a greatly reduced price for guarantees of US military support.
In other words....Ukraine keep fighting and wear Putin down with full us of US made arms..
But that's not the offer, ....The offer Rubio is trying to peddle is...Russia keeps everything they occupy, plus a little more and we(US) want your rare earths to the tune of everything we $$$$spent on you/Ukraine.
Russia is playing Trump...Russia won't budge, or stop fighting, or even agree to a ceasefire until VZ holds an election....VZs poll numbers have skyrocketed since Trump's outrageous lying attacks upon him..
Which means VZ likely wins a Ukraine election, unless Russia can cheat the election, try to install a puppet regime...Very unlikely...And when/if VZ wins the election?....Does Russia call off the ceasefire and go back to fighting IF an election were held and VZ won?
Trump's deal team are looking bad, and set in their ways....Maybe VZ can sell Trump the rare earths in Crimea, and make the US go in and get it...If Russia allows it.
Cheers
I see them more as "Jack D. Ripper" (the "Comminists are contaminating our precious bodily fluids" ) guy and Dr. Strangelove characters in Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece. FYI, MP Charlie Angus is sponsoring a petition by a Nanaimo woman to revoke Blofeld's Canadian citizenship - story on Chek News at: https://cheknews.ca/nanaimo-womans-petition-asking-pm-to-revoke-elon-musks-canadian-citizenship-gains-support-1240280/
