Trump says he didn't order Starlink restrictions in Ukraine

vnexpress.net (Vietnamese) —

President Trump said he did not know who ordered restrictions on Starlink in Ukraine, asserting the service remains unchanged. He denied issuing any such order and doubted Elon Musk was responsible. Ukrainian officials reported that Starlink and Starshield terminals stopped working when moving over 160 km/h since October 13, disrupting military operations. President Zelensky called the situation dangerous, noting it hindered Ukraine's ability to shoot down enemy drones. Three unnamed US officials said the directive came from within the White House, without naming specific individuals. Ukraine relies heavily on satellite internet due to damaged infrastructure, and Musk previously warned the frontline would collapse if Starlink were disconnected.
