U.S. President Donald Trump has pledged to resolve ongoing issues with Ukraine's military-grade Starlink service, but officials report the system remains non-functional. The system, crucial for defending against Russian drone attacks, is still experiencing technical difficulties despite Trump's promise to intervene.
Trump, who has ordered SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to address the issue, has not yet spoken to Musk but may do so if problems persist. Ukrainian officials confirm that Starshield terminals, which are vital for intercepting Russian drones, are still not working as expected.
The continued failure of Starshield raises concerns about the reliability of U.S.-backed military technology and the extent of control the U.S. government has over critical national security infrastructure.
