They might use OneWeb and also Intelsat...
Musk looks that is dangerous, CIA and FBI should take him under scope because risk that some high tech secrets leakage to China, Russia, North Korea or Iran looks that maybe might be possible in future IF he supports Bejing or / and Kremlin.

"Let us see how the Ukrainian Army is doing 12 months from now. How many soldiers will they have to fight the Russian Army. Russia can keep this up for years - Ukraine cannot. Round #1 of a 12 round fight. Ukraine wins round #1. Plus, the Russian people are behind Putin in this war."

"Indeed. Within the next 12 months Putin (Russia) will most likely be using chemical weapons and tactical nukes - in Ukraine. The West (NATO) will still not get involved in a conflict in Ukraine."

No. They are all going to die over the next 12 months and not be replaced.
They know their numbers are shrinking and death is imminent.
Does the Ukrainian Army have enough soldiers to keep this war up for another 5 years?"

The big exodus to Europe. The majority probably to Poland. What will the Ukrainian population look like in another 12 months?

Something tells me a lot of folks in this thread will be disappointed about 12 months from now.
That is the 4th time you say that.
Again, I did not say that one year ago. Again, where is my post saying that?
Man, you are hardheaded.
TBF the Russian Navy is used to operating ships that are 70-80% broken. I bet she rides again.Continuing the rich naval tradition from Tshushima to Sevastopol dry docks!

Not likely.North Korea is mainly supplying dumb, unguided munitions for artillery.
Pretty interesting article that talks about the South Korean response if North Korea goes through with weapons transfers.
"But if Moscow starts buying weapons from Pyongyang — something that would violate rafts of U.N. sanctions — it could both change the course of the Ukraine war and force Seoul's hand, said Choi Gi-il, professor of military studies at Sangji University.
"If that were to happen, I think it will be more than 50-50 probability that South Korea-manufactured weapons exported to Poland would be deployed to help Ukraine fend off the Russians," he said.
The export of South Korean weaponry, especially the K9 howitzers, would be "of great value to Kyiv," he said."

Kim Jong Un in Russia touring space centers and weapons factories, experts say the South may be forced to review its careful balancing act on the Ukraine war — which Seoul has condemned, even as it resists calls to supply weapons directly to Kyiv.
On the assembly line Friday were rows of Warsaw-bound Howitzers, an artillery weapon a bit like a supermobile cannon.
Hanwha Aerospace, South Korea's largest defence contractor, is racing to meet delivery targets for the 14-wheeled, 47-ton K9 Howitzers, which have a firing a range of 40 kilometers (25 miles) — much longer than a tank, although the K9 needs to be stationary to shoot.
Poland ordered 212 K9s last year and Seoul has already delivered 48 of them — a pace "no one else can achieve," said Lee Kyoung-hun, Hanwha's production leader.
"We are capable of delivering products in the shortest time frame possible," said Lee, adding that it took between three and four months to build one Howitzer from scratch.
Seoul has long harbored ambitions to join the ranks of the world's top arms exporters — aiming to be the fourth largest, behind the U.S., Russia and France — something that is now possible, industry research indicates.
It has already sold artillery shells to Washington — but with a "final user" agreement in place meaning the United States would be the military that uses the munitions.
Experts have said this allows the United States to then provide their own shells to Kyiv.
South Korea's arms industry has one key advantage over others globally: it's always been "ready for war," said Choi Dong-bin, Hanwha Aerospace's senior vice president.
Hostilities in the 1950 to 1953 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty, and Seoul remains technically at war with nuclear-armed Pyongyang.
This gives the country an advantage globally in weapons production, Choi said, as Seoul has the capacity to mass-produce quickly and easily whenever it gets an order.
"The fact that we're maintaining production line is another boon. At this moment we're receiving many orders from overseas and we are able to respond quickly to their demands and deliver products in a short period of time," he said.
Seoul's weapons are also well-tested: "These are deployed on the ground," on one of the world's most heavily fortified borders, Choi said.
"Because they are deployed (in South Korea), it has the capacity to perform in any part of the world," he added.
Heavily sanctioned North Korea lacks Seoul's high-tech weaponry — but it does have stockpiles of outdated Soviet-era munitions.
Kim met Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, and experts have warned the internationally isolated pair might have agreed a deal involving Pyongyang supplying artillery shells and anti-tank missiles in exchange for satellite technology from Moscow.
Any such deal could change Seoul's calculations, experts say, as although South Korea has condemned Russia's invasions of Ukraine, it has resisted calls to step up support to Kyiv, in part as it has long called on Moscow to help manage Kim Jong Un.
But if Moscow starts buying weapons from Pyongyang — something that would violate rafts of U.N. sanctions — it could both change the course of the Ukraine war and force Seoul's hand, said Choi Gi-il, professor of military studies at Sangji University.
"If that were to happen, I think it will be more than 50-50 probability that South Korea-manufactured weapons exported to Poland would be deployed to help Ukraine fend off the Russians," he said.
The export of South Korean weaponry, especially the K9 howitzers, would be "of great value to Kyiv," he said.
"It's always better to have more howitzers in war and both Russia and Ukraine don't have enough of them," he said, adding that Ukraine was mostly using Soviet-era outdated weapons.
"But K9s stand out as among the most recent, overwhelming conventional weapons. It will mean so much for Kiev to have them on the front lines."

Fair enough but they also were members of the communist party and participated in the government on a voluntary basis on a large scale. It wasn't a grudging concession to fight a "worse evil", there were far more communist Ukrainians period than there were nationalists. This is an embarrassing fact but it is true.Ofc they fought against Hitler. Not only in frontline. Partisans and diversants in Hitler's occupied areas too.
We all know this and know why.
Hitler wanted to deUkrainize Ukraine + was merciless with POVs, had concentration camps and torture chambers for POVs in occupied areas.
