Zelenskyy says Starlink speeds are being restricted again across Ukraine's front line

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Thursday that the Ukrainian military is registering significant disruptions in the Starshield satellite service, which uses Elon Musk's SpaceX Starlink network, along the entire front line and in occupied territories. Zelenskyy stated on X that "systematic speed restrictions" have been introduced, claiming this helps Russians kill more Ukrainians and conduct more precise attacks. He said Ukraine is working with American partners to clarify the circumstances, with the statement coming as US envoys are in Russia for talks on ending the war. The announcement follows similar reports in October, when Zelenskyy accused the US of limiting Starlink and Starshield access, which Americans denied before Musk admitted to restricting Ukraine's access due to violations of service terms. A planned meeting between Zelenskyy and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre in Dublin was cancelled due to Støre's illness.
