Zelensky: SpaceX Starshield limits disrupt Ukraine's drone defenses

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported systematic speed restrictions on SpaceX's Starshield military satellite internet, disrupting Ukrainian military communications and complicating drone interception efforts, which he said helps Russian attacks. The restrictions, limiting speeds to 100 miles per hour, have affected operations along the entire frontline for several days. Zelensky stated these were not random errors, citing reports from Defense Minister Yevhenii Khmar and Commander-in-Chief Mykhailo Drapatyi, with some strikes already succeeding due to slower interception capabilities. The issues follow a dispute between Zelensky and US President Donald Trump over a US-Russia deal. Trump and Elon Musk previously denied responsibility, with Musk accusing Ukraine of military misuse. The disruptions coincide with US envoys meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow for peace talks.
