According to Russia's TST, Zelensky said Starlink's restriction clearly benefits Putin and linked Elon Musk to the limits. Musk responded that Starlink is a commercial service that cannot be used for offensive military operations, while Starshield serves the US government and its usage is decided by the US military and government. Ukraine's Defence Ministry said Starshield terminals were back online on October 15. The Financial Times reported that the US proposed Europe release part of frozen Russian assets to Washington's control, but Europe refused, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the assets must stay frozen in Europe. Last week, Trump urged Ukraine to hold elections and change leadership, Musk backed the call for Zelensky to step down, and Zelensky proposed about 60 days of stabilisation to prepare for an election.

- SpaceX Restricts Starlink on Ukrainian UAVs at Trump's Request
According to reports from Ukrainian media, SpaceX updated its software to limit the speed of Starlink terminals, causing satellite connections to be lost completely when vehicles or UAVs move faster than 160 km/h. Ukrainian soldiers said the restriction disrupted command and control and some essential missions during night fighting, while standard terminals continue to work normally. Preliminary analysis suggests SpaceX acted at the direct request of the Trump administration to prevent non-commercial military use of the satellite network, particularly by high-speed UAVs and long-range strike drones. The move came shortly after some Western intelligence channels were closed ahead of large-scale missile attacks on Kyiv. The article argues that Ukraine will need to address the impact on coordination of mobile strike groups and rapid UAV data transmission in the coming period.
- Zelensky says he will not follow President Trump's demands
In an interview with Piers Morgan on October 14, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said he will not resign and that holding a presidential election is not feasible, even though his presidential powers formally expired on May 20, 2024. On October 10, President Donald Trump said Ukraine should replace its president and accused Zelensky of raising US diesel prices. On October 11, Zelensky replied that Ukrainians alone should choose their leader, and that holding elections during wartime would be very difficult, unsafe and inconsistent with Ukraine's constitution. He said Ukraine could hold elections if Russia agrees to a comprehensive 60-day ceasefire.
- Zelensky sets terms for deal on Russian oil refineries
According to the Wall Street Journal, Ukrainian President Zelensky is willing to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries for 100 days in exchange for extending Starlink coverage by 300km for Ukraine's military. The proposal was raised by two Republican senators during a visit to Kyiv, and anonymous sources say Zelensky agreed; the expanded coverage would let Ukraine target missile launchers inside Russia. The move comes as President Trump pressures Zelensky to stop attacks he blames for surging global energy prices, while Ukraine faces a severe shortage of Patriot missiles. Starlink service recently slowed and at times cut out during high-speed drone flights, and Zelensky said speeds have improved but restrictions have not been fully lifted. The Kremlin said it was unaware of the slowdown.
- Ukraine runs out of Patriot missiles, Kyiv faces 3 pressures: Zelensky makes repeated appeals, Russia responds
A source close to CNN says Ukraine has run out of interceptors for the US-made Patriot system, so most ballistic missiles in Russia's overnight attack went unintercepted. The strike hit three power plants in Kyiv and targeted energy infrastructure in Kharkiv. President Zelensky has repeatedly warned of Patriot shortages and is seeking more, but the US production license he expected has not been granted. Tensions with Washington have escalated as the Trump administration reached a deal on Russian diesel imports and pressed Ukraine to stop attacking Russian oil facilities. Zelensky said Kyiv would halt strikes on Russian energy sites only if it received more Patriots, while Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov accused him of seeking missiles to keep hitting those sites.
- 'Leave': Crypto Backlash Over French Proposal to Report Wallets Over $112K
France's National Assembly Finance Committee adopted amendment I-CF821, which would require holders of self-custody crypto wallets to declare holdings of €100,000 ($112,000) or more based on year-end value, with fines of up to €10,000 ($11,000) for non-compliance. Crypto holders have criticized the plan as a security threat, pointing to a wave of wrench attacks, robberies and kidnappings in France, including the 2025 kidnapping of Ledger co-founder David Balland and his wife. Rand Hindi, founder of privacy protocol Zama, tweeted that people living in France who hold crypto should leave. The committee also backed treating crypto-to-stablecoin swaps as taxable sales from January 2027 and extending France's exit tax to household crypto holdings above €800,000. The proposal is not law yet, and when the full Assembly resumes debate on Monday it will start from the government's original text, which excludes these amendments.
- Andy Burnham issued major demand by 30 , 000 drivers as pensioners left isolated
FairFuelUK says more than 30,000 people emailed Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Chancellor John Healey within 24 hours, urging urgent action on fuel costs before the Budget on October 28 as petrol and diesel prices rise amid conflict in the Middle East. Many respondents, including a pensioner in rural Wales and a self-employed driving instructor, say they rely entirely on cars for hospital visits, shopping and work because bus services are unreliable or absent. Demands include cutting Fuel Duty, a permanent freeze, a PumpWatch regulator with legal powers over excessive pricing, and recognising affordable mobility as a driver of growth. Founder Howard Cox argues that cheaper fuel would lower costs and inflation, and supporters ask to meet him to discuss a 20-Year Transport Strategy developed with input from more than 80,000 drivers and stakeholders.

- Waymo Will Be “a Trillion Dollar Business. Easy” per VC Investor
Bessemer Venture Partners' Sameer Dholakia says Waymo could become a trillion-dollar business by expanding from ride-hailing into personal car ownership, trucking and logistics. The article notes Bessemer invested in Waymo's $16 billion February round, which valued the company at $126 billion. Waymo reached 500,000 paid rides a week in March, but Sacra estimates its annualized revenue at only $355 million in February, under 0.1% of Alphabet's $403 billion in 2025 revenue. Alphabet trades at 25.0x forward earnings, within its usual range, while Uber trades at 18.2x, a level analyst Walter Piecyk links to the threat from Waymo and Tesla's Robotaxi.

Wedgewood Partners reported that its Wedgewood Composite returned 2.5% net in the third quarter of 2026, compared with 2.3% for the S&P 500 and 0.9% for the Russell 1000 Growth.
