US denies White House role in Starlink restrictions in Ukraine

masrawy.com (Arabic) —

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied White House involvement in restricting Starlink services in Ukraine, calling reports of deliberate slowdowns "completely untrue." Rubio stated no one in the White House ordered limits on Starlink speeds, adding that services are operating normally. He noted Ukraine requested access to Starshield for strikes inside Russia but will not receive it. Ukrainian authorities had reported restrictions last Wednesday amid tensions between President Trump and President Zelensky. Both Trump and Elon Musk denied any deliberate action, with Musk noting the Pentagon exclusively controls Starshield military systems.
