Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine remains unable to intercept Russian drones effectively due to ongoing restrictions on the Starlink satellite system, owned by Elon Musk. He reiterated concerns that these limitations are hindering critical defense capabilities.
Sources indicate that the order to limit Starshield, a related military satellite network, for Ukraine originated from within the White House. A Ukrainian presidential adviser confirmed that discussions are underway to lift the speed limits currently imposed on the military satellite network.
Meanwhile, four Republican senators have joined a letter calling for a Pentagon inspector general investigation into the reported Starlink outage affecting Ukraine. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
