Ukraine has accused Elon Musk and SpaceX of undermining its ability to undergo military operations as new Starlink restrictions are causing disruptions. NBC News' Richard Engel discusses how this situation is occurring amid President Zelenskyy's strained relationship with President Trump.

What the coverage shows
The Verge and BBC News diverge sharply in framing: The Verge focuses on claims that drone strikes on Russian data centers have affected disinformation activity, quoting Zelenskyy on social platforms, while BBC News instead foregrounds a separate wartime video package about Russian strikes on Ukraine. The only overlap is that both are presented through Ukraine-related conflict coverage, but BBC’s extract does not address bot farms or Yandex at all.
