Trump appears to have just confirmed this, telling reporters he's open to a trilateral summit with Putin and Xi on denuclearization (the central pillar of global security), not Ukraine.

If a Putin-Trump-Xi summit materializes, expect the issue of Ukraine to be folded into a much broader conversation about a new global security architecture.

"Ukrainian troops have been caught off guard by restrictions on Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet systems that disrupted frontline operations, while Kyiv received no advance warning from its partners of a Russian missile attack on its energy facilities for the second day running, according to Ukrainian officials.
Starlink terminals used by Ukrainian drone units began experiencing signal failures at speeds above 160kph, disrupting several missions early on Wednesday morning, according to military personnel and senior Ukrainian officials.
'Logistics at the frontline and middle strikes are badly limited,' one senior Ukrainian official familiar with the situation on the front told the FT. Ukraine’s middle strikes target Russian military supply lines and logistics. The limitations came with 'no warning, just in the middle of the night', the official said"

Major new development with Trump/Musk apparently restricting use of Starlink above Ukraine.
❗️Сьогодні вночі було обмежено роботу терміналів «Starlink».
У русі при швидкості понад 160 км/год почав зникати звʼязок. Через це було зірвано низку важливих місій.
Ймовірно, комапнія «SpaceX» вдалася до таких заходів на запит адміністрації Трампа.
Звичайні термінали супутникового звʼязку наразі працюють.
