Zelenskyy: Starlink speeds restored after Trump-Musk dispute

Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

Ukraine's military confirmed Starlink speeds are back to normal after a 10-day restriction. The system, crucial for drone operations, was previously capped at 160km/h, hampering defense efforts. Zelenskyy credited U.S. allies for resolving the issue.

Zelenskyy credited the U.S. government and Trump for lifting the speed limits, while Musk accused Ukraine of violating Starlink terms. Trump dismissed Musk's influence, stating he wasn't involved in the decision. Musk claimed the restrictions were imposed by the U.S. military.

The restrictions, which affected only Ukraine's Starshield system, raised concerns about U.S. oversight of private tech. Zelenskyy called it a 'planned operation' and warned of potential human losses. Musk and Trump both blamed each other, with Musk claiming the U.S. government controlled the system.
