Trump: Military Starlink restored in Ukraine

aftonbladet.se (Swedish) —

The military variant of the Starlink satellite network is "back" in Ukraine, according to US President Donald Trump, who stated that Elon Musk has "restored it." Earlier this week, sources reported that Musk had decided to restrict the military version of Starlink, which hampered Ukraine's defense capabilities. The restriction caused Ukrainian drones to lose connectivity at certain speeds, rendering them nearly useless. Musk has previously stated that all speed or usage limits are determined by the US military and, by extension, the president. The US Defense Secretary said the Pentagon did not order changes, and Trump said he did not either.
