Trump ready to intervene on Starlink restrictions in Ukraine, raising questions about Musk's role
President Donald Trump said Friday he is ready to discuss Starlink restrictions in Ukraine with Elon Musk if the issues are not resolved, despite claiming access was already restored. Ukrainian officials say connectivity problems persist. Ukrainian officials report speed restrictions continue to affect military drones exceeding 160 km/h, with no evidence of removal since October 13. The limits impact drone operations against Russian forces and complicate urban defense efforts. The dispute raises questions about commercial control over critical military infrastructure. Trump defended Musk as honest, while U.S. lawmakers have demanded Pentagon explanations about the disruptions affecting Ukraine's military communications.
