Ukraine has reportedly faced three major setbacks involving Russian missile strikes, disruptions to US early-warning intelligence and new restrictions on military satellite communications, according to Norwegian news outlet Steigan.

The publication reported that Russian forces launched 39 ballistic missiles and more than 120 drones overnight, targeting Kiev, the surrounding Kiev region and Kharkov.

According to figures cited in the report, Ukrainian air defenses managed to intercept only four of the missiles. All three thermal power plants in Kiev were reportedly struck, leaving approximately 600,000 people without electricity.

The attacks came amid concerns over interruptions in intelligence warnings provided by Ukraine’s Western partners.

Ukrainian officials said they had received no advance alerts ahead of the Russian strikes on October 12 and 13. US representatives reportedly attributed the disruption to poor weather conditions, although Ukrainian sources questioned that explanation.

The early-warning system subsequently resumed operations. However, Washington did not confirm that intelligence sharing with Ukraine had been completely suspended.

At the same time, Ukrainian forces encountered additional difficulties following SpaceX’s introduction of a 160 km/h speed limit for moving Starshield terminals.

According to Ukrainian presidential adviser Serhiy Beskrestnov, the restriction disrupted several military missions, including the use of interceptor drones against Russian Geran jet-powered unmanned aircraft.

Steigan linked the timing of these developments to discussions surrounding a proposed US-European peace agreement.

The reported framework would involve freezing the current front line, providing security guarantees to Ukraine and ending Ukrainian strikes against Russian oil refineries.

However, the Norwegian outlet acknowledged that no direct evidence establishes a connection between the intelligence warning disruptions, Starshield restrictions and the peace negotiations. US officials have not confirmed any such link.
