U.S. envoys meet Putin in Moscow as Ukraine reports Starshield disruptions

cnbc.com —

Ukraine has reported fresh disruptions to SpaceX's Starshield military satellite service along the front line, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy calling them systematic speed restrictions rather than random errors. Zelenskyy said the restrictions impose an effective speed limit of 161 kilometers per hour on terminals, disconnecting faster-moving equipment and hindering Ukraine's ability to intercept Russian jet-powered drones, allowing some strikes to get through. The warnings came as U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Moscow for talks with President Vladimir Putin, following trilateral negotiations in Abu Dhabi that ended without a major ceasefire breakthrough.
