Trump claims Starlink restored for Kyiv; Ukraine reports no change

independent.co.uk —

US President Donald Trump claims Elon Musk has restored Ukraine's Starlink access, but Ukrainian sources report no change in satellite internet speeds. Trump declined to confirm whether he personally called Musk about the service. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said full functionality has not been restored and hopes to discuss the issue with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Ukraine relies on Starlink for battlefield communications and drone operations, and restrictions have hampered military missions. The dispute adds to tensions between Washington and Kyiv over US support. Meanwhile, Russia and Ukraine exchanged war dead, with Moscow handing over 252 bodies and Ukraine 25, as Putin insists Russia is not preparing for war with Europe.
