Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has raised the alarm regarding major disruptions to the military version of the Starlink satellite network. "Unfortunately, for several days now, our units have recorded significant disruptions in the operation of Starshield over Ukrainian territory—along the entire front line and in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine," the President writes on X.

According to Zelenskyy—who has been briefed on the matter by, among others, Defense Minister Yevhen Khmara—"systematic" speed restrictions have been observed regarding Starshield. These are not random glitches, the President emphasizes.

"Unfortunately, this helps the Russians kill more Ukrainians and carry out more precise strikes against Ukraine. We are working to clarify all the circumstances with the American side."

In October, reports that Elon Musk had restricted Ukraine’s use of the military version of Starlink—known as Starshield—drew significant attention.
