Ukraine’s president told the Guardian that recent ‘speed restrictions’ on its military connectivity are ‘helping the Russians kill’, adding that the country is facing ‘significant’ Starshield disruptions while US envoys meet Putin. The comment came amid reports of heightened pressure on Ukraine’s communications network.
Eurostar said, in response to inquiries, that at the request of French authorities its trains cannot pass through Calais‑Fréthun station. The closure is delaying some services to and from London, and the operator apologized to customers, promising further updates.
Why it matters
Disruptions to Ukraine’s military communications could impair its defence, while the train stoppage hampers cross‑Channel travel.
