Zelenskyy: Starshield Disruptions Help Russians Kill More Ukrainians

welt.de (German) —

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported on Thursday that the Starshield satellite communication system, used by Ukraine's military, has experienced significant disruptions for several days. Zelenskyy stated the disruptions are not accidental but a "systematic speed limitation" that helps Russians kill more Ukrainians and conduct more precise attacks, particularly hindering drone defense. He is seeking clarification from the American side. Ukraine first reported Starshield issues in October, following a conflict between Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump over a diesel fuel supply contract. Trump and SpaceX founder Elon Musk denied responsibility, later stating systems were restored.
