Zelensky announced a breakthrough regarding Starlink. He thanked Trump.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the restoration of Starlink and Starshield systems, crucial for military logistics and defense against drones. He thanked Donald Trump and other U.S. partners for their assistance in resolving connectivity issues. The problems began on October 13-14, when Starshield terminals lost connection at high speeds, impacting drone operations. Zelensky claimed the restrictions were imposed intentionally by the U.S. government, while the White House denied involvement. Despite earlier assurances from Trump about the restoration, connectivity issues persisted, leading to public disputes involving Elon Musk and Polish officials.
