Ukraine Faces New Starlink Speed Restrictions Along Front Line, Zelenskyy Says

Ukraine has again faced speed restrictions on its Starshield military satellite communication terminals, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced following a report from Defense Minister Yevhen Khymara and Commander-in-Chief Mykhailo Drapatyi. Zelenskyy said Ukrainian units have recorded significant disruptions in Starshield operations along the entire front line and in temporarily occupied territories for several days, with systematic speed limits set at 161 km/h. He stated military checks confirmed this is not accidental but a deliberate restriction. The president noted the limits severely complicate interception of Russian jet-powered drones, with some strikes succeeding because interceptors cannot reach sufficient speed. Ukraine is now seeking clarification from the American side on the circumstances.
