Ukraine's Starlink restrictions linked to Zelenskyy's Greenland joke, lawmaker says

Ukrainian lawmaker Oleksiy Honcharenko claims the US again restricted Ukraine's Starlink terminals, including military StarShield services, due to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's joke about Greenland and US President Donald Trump. Honcharenko said on Telegram that Zelenskyy's joke about Greenland and Trump led to restricted StarShield speeds, calling the timing inappropriate during peace negotiations. He questioned how Ukraine can mock Trump while expecting his help with talks involving Putin. On Thursday, November 12, Zelenskyy reported significant disruptions in Starlink and StarShield operations. During a speech in Denmark's parliament, he joked about Trump's desire to control Greenland, suggesting Trump may have wanted to become "a bit more Danish" rather than acquire the territory.
