Trump, Musk, and Zelenskyy clash over Ukraine's Starshield restrictions

A dispute has erupted among the Trump administration, Ukrainian officials, and Elon Musk over who is responsible for limiting Ukraine's access to SpaceX's military-grade Starshield service, which has rendered many Ukrainian drones inoperable and hampered air defense systems. Trump denied responsibility and said the service is running again at full speed, though a European official disputed this claim. Musk blamed the US government, while reports suggest he ordered the slowdown. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has accused both SpaceX and the US of a planned operation that will cause human losses. The restrictions come amid low US-Ukraine relations nearly five years into Russia's invasion, with civilian casualties in Ukraine surging. Trump has accused Ukraine of raising US diesel costs through attacks on Russian refineries, though analysis suggests the US-Israel war on Iran had a greater impact on global diesel supplies.
