British Defense Secretary Wes Streeting said he and US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth welcomed the restoration of Starlink service in Ukraine during talks on Thursday, without discussing the cause of the interruption. Streeting told Fox News he did not speculate on why the outage occurred, noting the pair only briefly acknowledged the service's return. Ukraine reported SpaceX restricted Starlink on Wednesday, hampering drone missions. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said the US government controlled the system's speeds. Streeting also said he had no understanding that the Pentagon limited Ukraine's offensive or defensive capabilities to prevent strikes on Russian energy installations.
