Rubio denies White House role in Starlink restrictions for Ukraine

nv.ua (Ukrainian) —

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Ukraine currently lacks access to the military Starshield package for Starlink terminals, denying White House involvement in any restrictions. Rubio said Ukrainians requested access to enable long-range strikes into Russia, but do not have it. He called reports of White House-ordered slowdowns "categorically false" and claimed the system is working again. Restrictions on Starlink speed emerged October 14, disrupting military missions and drone operations. Ukrainian officials are negotiating with SpaceX, the Pentagon, and the US government to lift the limits, which President Zelensky called a "big mistake."
