Trump confirms Musk lifted Starlink restrictions in Ukraine

news.mail.ru (Russian) —

US President Donald Trump confirmed that Elon Musk lifted speed restrictions on Starlink satellite service in Ukraine. Trump declined to specify who negotiated with the SpaceX founder but emphasized their good relationship. Trump stated that whether he or someone else made the call is irrelevant, saying the key point is that Musk "brought everything back." The confirmation follows Wall Street Journal reports that Trump asked Musk to remove limits on the military Starshield version. Musk previously said the system is controlled by the US government, with any speed or usage restrictions set solely by the Pentagon.
