Rubio denies White House slowed Starlink in Ukraine

interfax.ru (Russian) —

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the White House did not order any slowdown of Starlink services in Ukraine, saying no one in the administration issued such instructions and that the system is currently working normally. Rubio was responding to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's claim that someone in the US had decided to reduce Starlink speeds. The Secretary of State expressed doubt about Zelensky's understanding of the matter, asserting that the situation was not the result of deliberate actions. Rubio made the remarks to journalists in the US before departing for Uzbekistan. The statement comes amid ongoing tensions over US support for Ukraine's military communications infrastructure.
