neoteo.com (Spanish) —

Volodymyr Zelensky proposed to Donald Trump enabling Starlink in Russia so Ukrainian forces could target Russian ballistic missile launch systems, aiming to pressure Moscow into negotiations. The proposal, reported October 15, 2026, would let Ukraine avoid striking Russian energy infrastructure. Reports described restrictions on military terminal connectivity based on movement speed, with losses occurring between roughly 72 and 161 km/h. Starlink is the service in Zelensky's proposal, while restrictions concerned Starshield terminals, which Elon Musk said belongs to the U.S. government. Medium-range operations in Crimea, eastern Ukraine, and the Black Sea could be affected.
