Zelensky orders stronger US ties over Starshield restrictions at front

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the US has not provided clear explanations for restrictions on Starshield operations at the front, and he ordered intensified contacts with Washington. The speed limit for Ukrainian forces remains at 161 km/h along the entire front line and in temporarily occupied territories, preventing the use of interceptors against Shahed drones. Zelensky instructed the Foreign Ministry and Defense Ministry to more actively engage with the State Department, Pentagon, and SpaceX. As of November 13, specialists confirmed the restriction applies over all Russian-occupied territory, while no limits were recorded on Ukrainian-controlled land.
