Ukraine's Starlink access restored, Trump claims, but European officials report no change

theguardian.com —

President Donald Trump claimed SpaceX CEO Elon Musk fully restored Ukraine's Starlink access, but a senior European official said Thursday that nothing has changed in the military-grade Starshield service's operation. Trump appeared to confirm the service had been down but said it was working at optimal speeds, while denying involvement in the slowdown. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said before Trump's comments that Starlink had not been fully restored, and questions over who ordered interruptions have sparked blame within the administration. Russia launched overnight ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv and 12 regions, killing at least four people and wounding dozens, including five children. Separately, Denmark agreed to buy long-range precision missiles, Romania accelerated Black Sea surveillance development, and Finland urged no Russian gas deals while the war continues.
