MeridStreet AI summary

Ukraine's access to the Starshield network, a military-grade network, has been limited. This decision comes after criticism from former US President Donald Trump, who disapproved of Kyiv's strikes on Russia's energy infrastructure. The move is significant for markets and trade as it may impact Ukraine's military capabilities and its ability to defend itself against Russia's aggression.
