Ulrich Vosgerau wrote that the Federal Constitutional Court had recently emphasized that public broadcasting is more important today than ever. The original argument for it, that there were only television frequencies for one or two channels and that a private television market was therefore inconceivable at first, no longer applies. At the same time, Vosgerau criticized the reasoning that citizens only receive reliable, correct, and politically balanced information through public broadcasting, while disinformation lurks on the internet. He ironically portrayed the reporting on France as if students were protesting there because they wanted to learn more and receive more homework. #ÖRR #Information #Frankreich (translated)

It simply happened, but from what I understand, the service has been restored. Marco Rubio stated: "Yes, I don't know what their hypothesis is, but the White House has nothing to do with this. I saw a report on this topic a few days ago. It is categorically false. No one at the White House has ordered anyone to slow down the internet or reduce the connection speed so that certain drones cannot use it. But, from what I understand, the service has been restored and is functioning. That's what I read – that's what I heard two days ago." #Starlink #Ucraina #MarcoRubio (translated)

He concluded that she had no credibility. #République #GiletsJaunes #Journalisme (translated)
Nacho Montes de Oca stated that Ukraine launched a massive long-range drone attack against St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region overnight. According to his post, the impacts hit a oil terminal and the main data center of VKontakte, as well as causing fires in several districts. He added that regional authorities reported the downing of dozens of drones and that restrictions at Pulkovo Airport delayed or canceled at least 46 flights. Montes de Oca noted that the terminal had an annual capacity of about 12.5 million tons and was an important point for transporting fuels via the Baltic and supplying the Russian fleet that exported crude oil. Although, according to him, the damage only affected part of the facilities, he stated that the fire in tanks and pumping systems temporarily suspended 100% of loading operations. He estimated that repairs would reduce Russian logistical capacity to export diesel by 15% to 20% for several weeks. Regarding VKontakte, which according to Montes de Oca had over 95 million active monthly users, the author stated that the data center provided communication, video, and access to public platforms, and was also integrated into state systems for education, health, and e-government. He added that NetBlocks recorded a drop in platform traffic to 56% of its normal level, about 44% less. In his analysis, the attack added to previous ones against Yandex data centers in Sasovo, Kaluga, and Vladímir, and could affect digital and state services. Montes de Oca indicated that the Ruchyi depot could store 114,000 cubic meters of fuel and supplied heavy and rail transport of the Leningrad Military District. He also stated that the Baltic ports supported Russian exports of crude and its derivatives. According to his post, Russia aimed to export between 3 and 3.5 million tons of diesel per month by the end of 2026, more than 10% of the global market, and damage to terminals and refineries would limit its income and export capacity. The author said that the offensive weakened the energy truce driven by Donald Trump and that Kiev had warned it would respond if Russia continued attacking Ukrainian infrastructure. He added that Secretary of State Marco Rubio had confirmed that Starshield was not operating in Ukraine nor had it been enabled to guide Ukrainian drones over Russian territory, so, according to Montes de Oca, it was not used in the attack. #Ucrania #SanPetersburgo #GuerraUcrania (translated)

"I don't know what Zelensky said. I'm not sure that Zelensky knows what he is talking about, but it wasn't something deliberate. We have nothing to do with that. No... The United States, no one ordered the slowdown of Starlink. It just happened, but, as far as I understand, the service has been restored. It has returned to the level it was at before." American Secretary of State Marco Rubio responded to Ukraine's accusations regarding the operation of Starlink satellite internet services, stating that no one at the White House ordered anyone to slow down the internet or reduce connection speed. #MarcoRubio #Starlink #Ucraina (translated)
