Zelenskyy reports systematic Starshield restrictions across Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reports significant disruptions in the Starshield satellite network over Ukrainian territory, including along the entire front line and in temporarily occupied areas. Zelenskyy stated on X that systematic speed restrictions have been registered, not random errors, and that this helps Russia kill more Ukrainians and conduct more precise attacks. He said Ukraine is trying to clarify the circumstances with the American side. The president was informed by Defense Minister Yevhenii Chmara. In October, reports that Elon Musk had restricted Ukraine's use of the military Starlink variant, Starshield, drew widespread attention.
