Ukraine probes Starlink restrictions that disrupted drone attacks on Russian forces

Ukraine is investigating restrictions on its Starlink satellite internet system that disrupted drone attacks on Russian forces, with officials accusing Elon Musk of manipulation and warning the move could jeopardize Ukraine's military position. The restrictions cut communications with attack drones flying over 100 mph, and some Ukrainian operators lost connections at speeds as low as 40 mph, leading to failed missions. Poland's foreign minister publicly accused Musk of playing political games, while Musk claimed the US government controls the military Starshield system and sets any limits. The disruption follows Musk's recent criticism of President Zelensky and comes amid claims the US is limiting intelligence-sharing to pressure Ukraine into a peace deal. Ukraine's military technology adviser said the changes were imposed without warning, disrupting several missions.
