“Unfortunately, for several days now, our units have registered significant disruptions to Starshield’s operation 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 was informed about the matter by, among others, Defense Minister Yevheniy Chmara, “systematic” speed restrictions have been registered for Starshield. These are not random errors, the president emphasizes.

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

In October, reports that Elon Musk had restricted Ukraine’s use of Starshield, the military variant of Starlink, received a lot of attention.
