Zelenskyy says Starlink still not fully working despite Trump's assurances

abc7.com —

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told ABC News on Friday that the Starlink satellite network remains only partially operational, contradicting assurances from President Donald Trump that the system had been fixed. Zelenskyy said the network's range is still narrow despite Trump's claim he had heard it was repaired. Trump said he had not yet spoken to Elon Musk about the issue, while Zelenskyy also reported receiving only 24 Patriot interceptor missiles in three months, far below the 350 needed monthly. The dispute follows Ukrainian reports of missed ballistic missile warnings, though Zelenskyy said Tuesday the early warning system had resumed. The White House denies any slowdown, with Musk stating Starshield limits are set by the U.S. military, while peace talks continue amid ongoing Russian strikes on Kyiv.
