Ukraine reports new Starlink speed restrictions along front line and occupied areas

nos.nl (Dutch) —

Ukrainian President Zelensky reports new Starlink connection delays along the entire front line and in Russian-occupied areas, calling them "systematic speed restrictions" that hinder drone interceptions. The restrictions prevent defense drones from exceeding 161 kilometers per hour, and Zelensky says multiple Russian attacks have already succeeded as a result. Ukraine uses Starshield, the military version of Starlink, which is vital for air defense. Owner Elon Musk also limited network speeds last month, citing alleged violations of terms that prohibit using the system for offensive drone operations.
