Ukraine reports new Starshield restrictions that Zelensky says help Russia kill Ukrainians
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday that Ukraine's military has recorded new "systematic" restrictions on the Starshield satellite internet service, operated by Elon Musk's SpaceX, which is critical for frontline communications. Zelensky stated the disruptions, including speed limits, are "not random errors" and are helping Russian forces "kill more Ukrainians" by complicating the interception of fast-moving Russian drones. The issues follow a recent dispute between Zelensky and US President Donald Trump over a US-Russia deal. The restrictions come as US envoys meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow for peace talks. Zelensky said Ukraine is trying to establish the circumstances with the American side, while Trump and Musk have previously denied responsibility for similar outages.
