The Starshield system is not functioning properly again in Ukraine. Disruptions along the entire front line.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported significant disruptions in the Starshield system, affecting military operations against Russian drones. Defense Minister Yevhen Chmara and Commander-in-Chief Mykhailo Drapaty informed him about these issues. Zelensky emphasized that these are systematic speed limitations, complicating the interception of Russian drones and leading to increased casualties. He plans to discuss the situation with U.S. officials. Starshield, a military version of SpaceX's Starlink, has faced previous limitations, with Elon Musk suggesting restrictions due to alleged misuse by Ukrainian forces. Former President Trump had previously requested the lifting of these restrictions, which were confirmed to be resolved by Zelensky.
