Trump denies blame for Ukraine Starlink outage

thestar.com.my —

President Donald Trump said Friday he believes neither he nor Elon Musk is responsible for Ukraine losing Starlink access that affected its military operations against Russia. The service reduction interrupted communications with headquarters and caused internet speeds to drop. Reuters reported Thursday that the White House approved the reduction in Starshield services, though Trump said any limit was not imposed by the United States. Starshield, developed by SpaceX for government and national-security customers, uses the Starlink constellation as its backbone. Trump also said he maintains a good relationship with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
