Zelensky Slams US Starlink Speed Limits in Ukraine
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized US-controlled restrictions on Starlink satellite internet speeds in Ukraine on Friday, saying they hinder his country's ability to counter drone attacks. In a video address, Zelensky said the limits remain across the entire front line and in temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories. He instructed the foreign and defense ministries to raise the issue with US officials, calling the restrictions a "very bad signal" that undermines Ukraine's defenses. Zelensky warned the limits send Russia a message that Washington might treat occupied territories differently, adding "we count on restoring the speed." He had previously complained about the restrictions reappearing, particularly over Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine.
