Trump denies responsibility for Starlink outage in Ukraine

US President Donald Trump denied responsibility for the Starlink outage in Ukraine, stating neither he nor Elon Musk caused it, according to Reuters. This follows reports that the White House ordered restrictions on the Starshield satellite system used by Ukrainian forces. Ukrainian officials reported on Wednesday that SpaceX limited terminal operations, disrupting military communications and drone operations amid rising tensions between Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky. Musk denied involvement, saying only the US military or Trump could restrict Starshield. Ukrainian media reported Thursday that the system was working again at the front, though Zelensky said in Brussels on Friday that satellite communication had improved but was not fully restored.
