Starlink, important for drone navigation, is operational again in Ukraine

Ukraine has announced the restoration of the Starlink satellite system and its military variant, Starshield, after a period of limited functionality that disrupted military operations. The system, owned by Elon Musk's SpaceX, faced issues following a statement from former President Donald Trump regarding Russian oil purchases. The Ukrainian military has not confirmed if full service has resumed, but the connection remains stable at speeds above 400 km/h. Recent reports suggest that Elon Musk may have been responsible for throttling the speed of Ukrainian drones' Starlink connections, contradicting earlier claims that the U.S. government was to blame. Musk stated that any restrictions on speed or usage are determined by the U.S. military and the president, despite his previous assurances that Starlink would not be turned off for Ukraine.
