Trump denies ordering Starshield limits for Ukraine

pravda.com.ua (Ukrainian) —

US President Donald Trump said he did not order restrictions on Ukraine's access to SpaceX's Starshield satellite technology, and he does not believe Elon Musk did either. He stated that, to his understanding, the situation remains unchanged. Trump's comments on Friday came after reports that an order to limit Starshield, used by Ukraine for battlefield communications and drone control, originated from the White House. Republican Senator Tom Tillis is initiating an investigation into Pentagon activities regarding Starlink issues faced by Ukrainian forces. The White House previously denied involvement in Starlink restrictions, noting it does not control SpaceX. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called any US-imposed limits a mistake that would lead to casualties.
