Disruptions in the operation of a key system, Zelensky warns. "This makes it easier for the Russians to kill"

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported significant disruptions in the Starshield system, affecting military operations along the front line. The system's speed limitation to 161 km/h hampers defense against fast Russian drones, leading to increased casualties. A recent drone strike in Kyiv resulted in injuries and one fatality. Issues with Starshield have persisted since October, impacting military effectiveness, although improvements were noted later in the month.
