Trump says Musk has restored Starlink in Ukraine, but Ukrainians claim the connection is still unstable

Starlink's satellite internet service in Ukraine continues to face disruptions, despite claims of lifted restrictions by Donald Trump. Ukrainian military sources report that drones lose connection at speeds over 161 km/h, hindering operations. The military is monitoring Starlink and its military variant, Starshield, but no evidence confirms the restrictions have been lifted. Issues arose last week when satellite connectivity was reportedly limited, complicating drone deployment and defense coordination. Musk denied involvement in the slowdown, suggesting the Pentagon might be behind the restrictions. The White House denied intentionally limiting service. Amidst diplomatic tensions between Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky over attacks on Russian oil facilities, Zelensky stated that Starlink's speed has not been fully restored, seeking updates from U.S. officials.
