Ukraine's Starlink service has been restored after a period of speed restrictions that hindered military operations. The military reported stable connections, with speeds returning to normal levels critical for drone operations and frontline logistics.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy credited the U.S. government and Trump for resolving the issue, while SpaceX CEO Elon Musk blamed the Trump administration for imposing the speed limits. Zelensky stated the restrictions were a 'planned operation' affecting only Ukraine.
The restoration follows a 10-day period of disrupted service, which impacted Ukraine's ability to intercept Russian drones and conduct operations behind enemy lines. The U.S. government and SpaceX have differing accounts of who imposed the restrictions, with Musk claiming the limits were decided by the U.S. military.
Zelensky attributed the resolution to 'direct dialogue' with the Trump administration, highlighting the importance of stable communication for Ukraine's defense efforts.
