Ukraine reports Starshield slowdowns as US envoys meet Putin in Moscow

Ukraine's military is facing renewed "significant disruptions" to the Starshield satellite internet service, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Thursday, hampering its defense against Russia as U.S. envoys meet with Putin. Zelenskyy reported systematic speed restrictions on the military network, limiting it to 100 mph versus its normal 250 mph, complicating the interception of Russian drones. He said strikes have already gotten through due to the slowdown, and Ukraine is seeking clarification from the U.S. SpaceX did not respond to requests for comment. The issue follows last month's similar complaints, with Elon Musk blaming President Trump, who denied involvement. The disruptions coincide with U.S. envoys meeting Putin in Moscow, following trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi that yielded no major breakthrough.
