Trump says Musk restored Ukraine's Starlink access

news.liga.net (Ukrainian) —

US President Donald Trump announced that SpaceX founder Elon Musk has restored Ukraine's access to Starlink satellite communications. Trump declined to specify whether he personally asked Musk to lift the restrictions. Trump said the key point is that access was restored, without commenting on who made the request. The Wall Street Journal reported Trump personally called Musk, after which system performance improved, though some Ukrainian officials said functionality was not yet fully restored. Ukraine's military uses Starlink for communication and drone operations. SpaceX limited terminal speeds on October 14, disrupting operations when terminals exceeded roughly 160 km/h, affecting interception of Russian drones.
