Trump reportedly called Musk about Ukraine. He demanded the lifting of Starlink restrictions.

Following a conversation between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, the Starlink system's performance in Ukraine improved, although not all restrictions were lifted. Trump contacted Musk to discuss the limitations imposed on Starshield, the military version of Starlink used by Ukrainian forces. These restrictions hindered Ukraine's ability to use drones effectively against Russian targets. After the discussion, Starlink began operating more stably, with some officials noting that full functionality had not yet been restored. Experts believe that lifting speed limits could significantly enhance Ukraine's military capabilities. The White House and SpaceX have differing accounts regarding Musk's decision to impose these restrictions.
