Trump denies restricting Starlink for Ukraine's defense, contradicting Zelensky
President Donald Trump denied Friday that he or Elon Musk restricted Starlink service used by Ukraine for its defense, contradicting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's claims of limitations. Trump stated he checked the matter and believes the service was not slowed. Zelensky said he expects Starlink to restore its military defense capabilities for Ukraine, citing indications from the White House that limits would be lifted. He noted the service is used to intercept Russian jets attacking civilians, not for strikes on Russian territory. The dispute follows recent tensions between Trump and Zelensky, who emphasized receiving strong support from the European Union during a summit in Brussels. Trump said he learned of the suspension through news reports.
