Starlink limits persist for Ukrainian forces despite Trump's claim

Despite Trump's claim that Starlink/Starshield restrictions for Ukraine were lifted, military units still face active limits on the satellite service. Some Ukrainian units report partial restoration of connectivity without prior speed caps. Ukrainian presidential advisor Dmytro Lytvyn stated on X that the same limits remain in place, contradicting reports that Trump asked SpaceX founder Elon Musk to remove restrictions. Volunteer Serhiy Sternenko confirmed unstable operations, with some missions still affected by ongoing restrictions. The restrictions were reportedly proposed by Musk, and Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal has launched an investigation into the loss of critical Starshield access for Ukrainian forces.
