Zelensky: Starlink still limits Ukrainian drone speeds, hindering air defense
Ukrainian President Zelensky says Starlink still imposes speed limits on Ukrainian drones, hindering air defense operations despite U.S. claims of technical issues. Kyiv is in contact with American officials over the restrictions. Zelensky noted Starlink was tested elsewhere in Europe without problems, suggesting deliberate limits. Earlier this week, drone speeds were capped at 160 km/h, and Reuters reported the Pentagon was ordered to impose restrictions, which Zelensky called a planned operation. Zelensky also condemned Trump's cancellation of sanctions against Russia, urging allies to protest. He warned the move could encourage more Russian air attacks, citing overnight strikes on over 15 critical energy facilities, killing several civilians.
