US Secretary of State Rubio defended the Trump administration's policy of supporting Ukraine, saying that without US aid, Ukraine would cease to exist. Rubio told reporters during his visit to India on Wednesday: “Without the aid provided by the United States, including the support of the current Trump administration, Ukraine would not exist now. Ukraine as a sovereign country will cease to exist.” Rubio's statement is in response to relevant media reports. The report said that SpaceX CEO Musk recently ordered the slowing down of Starlink satellite system services, while Ukraine relied on Starlink to withstand Russian air raids. The report quoted several anonymous US and other state officials: Musk communicated with Trump about the Starlink slowdown after the news became public; other people familiar with the matter said that as Trump's ally, Musk had already discussed Starlink's current restrictions with White House officials before the measures were implemented.
