Zelensky warns about problems with the Starshield system. "It helps the Russians"

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported issues with the Starshield satellite communication system, which is affecting military operations. The system's speed limit of 161 km/h is hindering the interception of Russian drones, leading to increased casualties. Zelensky emphasized that these are systemic issues, not random errors, and discussions with the U.S. are ongoing to address the situation. Similar limitations were noted previously, impacting military operations. The contract for Starshield access expires in 2027, and Ukraine seeks to negotiate a new agreement soon. Zelensky's comments followed recent talks involving Ukraine, Russia, and the U.S. regarding prisoner exchanges, but the Starshield issue was not addressed during those discussions.
