New information from Kyiv. Starlink has not regained functionality. Ukraine is waiting for a decision from the USA.

Ukrainian officials report that restrictions on satellite communications, particularly Starlink, remain in place, affecting military operations. Despite some instances of connectivity at higher speeds, full functionality has not been confirmed. President Zelensky highlighted that the speed limit hampers the use of Starlink for intercepting drones. Ukraine is awaiting official responses from the Pentagon and SpaceX regarding the restoration of the Starshield system. Reports suggest that former President Trump contacted Elon Musk to request the lifting of these restrictions, but no confirmation of changes has been received as of October 23.
