Tensions between Ukraine and the US have escalated after SpaceX restricted Starlink speeds for Ukrainian military terminals, impacting a critical communication tool amid ongoing conflict.

Separately, a Ukrainian source claimed the US threatened to halt intelligence sharing over strikes on Russian refineries, and Musk reiterated his call for Zelensky to step down.
