According to the Wall Street Journal, Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of Starlink used by Ukrainian soldiers.

Elon Musk reportedly ordered a slowdown of Starlink's military version, Starshield, used by Ukraine, impacting its defense against Russian drones. Following the speed restrictions, Musk and Trump discussed the decision, raising questions about responsibility. Ukrainian President Zelensky warned that lives could be lost without unrestricted service, prompting informal investigations in the White House. While some U.S. officials claim Musk acted independently, others suggest he consulted high-ranking officials before implementing the restrictions. The slowdown coincided with hostile remarks from Trump towards Ukraine, leading to suspicions about the order's origin. SpaceX has not commented on the situation.
