Starlink access for Ukraine limited after Trump’s claims satellite service restored, officials say – Europe live

A dispute has arisen regarding the limitations on Ukraine's access to SpaceX's Starshield, with Trump and Musk exchanging blame. Ukrainian officials claim these restrictions have hindered drone operations and air defense. Trump denied responsibility, asserting that neither he nor his administration requested changes, while his cabinet supported this stance. Musk, however, indicated that the U.S. government controls the systems and decisions regarding their usage. Reports suggest Musk may have ordered the slowdown of Starshield, but it's unclear if this was coordinated with Trump. The situation remains contentious as civilian casualties in Ukraine increase.
