Trump denies restricting Ukraine's Starlink access after speed limits hinder defenses

bbc.co.uk —

US President Donald Trump denied limiting Ukraine's access to the Starshield network after speed restrictions hampered Kyiv's defenses against Russian attacks, saying "It wasn't me and I don't think it was Elon." Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said speed had yet to be restored, while Reuters reported the order came from inside the White House. Musk suggested the US government may have been responsible, as Ukraine suffered deadly strikes Tuesday following the slowdown. Tensions have risen over a US-Russia diesel deal and Ukraine's resumed strikes on Russian oil refineries. Zelensky questioned European support at a summit Friday, while US senators demanded an investigation into the disruptions.
