Brussels asks SpaceX to "urgently restore" Starlink services in Ukraine

The European Commission urged SpaceX to urgently restore full Starlink access for Ukraine, which relies on the service for military communications. Elon Musk limited the connection speed for Ukrainian equipment, affecting drone operations. U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, stated they had no prior knowledge of these limitations, emphasizing that decisions regarding Starlink are made by a private company. Rubio highlighted the importance of U.S. support for Ukraine since the war began. Musk suggested that the U.S. government controlled the Starshield system, implying that any restrictions were decided by the military.
