Musk proposed limiting Starlink for Ukraine; Trump did not object, Axios reports

eurointegration.com.ua (Russian) —

Elon Musk proposed limiting Starlink operations for Ukraine, and US President Donald Trump did not object, according to Axios, which corroborated a report by The Telegraph. Ukrainian officials report conflicting accounts of the disruption. SpaceX claims the issue is technical, while Ukrainian contacts allege White House involvement, and the White House blames Musk. Trump stated Friday that his administration was not involved, though a source familiar with the discussions told Axios Trump did not oppose Musk's idea. The White House denied The Telegraph's report as "absolute lies," insisting service is working normally. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Starlink speeds remain capped at 161 km/h, hindering drone interception and frontline supply deliveries, while tests in EU countries showed no restrictions.
